'Nashville' Season 5 Confirmed
According to Tennessean, CMT just confirmed "Nashville" Season 5. A unique deal was closed last Thursday after weeks of negotiations. And finally "Nashville" fans' wish to see the musical drama for another season is granted.
"CMT heard the fans. The wave of love and appreciation they have unleashed for Nashville has been overwhelming," said Brian Philips, CMT President. "We see our fans and ourselves in this show and we will treasure it like no other network. Nashville belongs on CMT."
According to RollingStone, aside from airing on its new home network, "Nashville" Season 5 will also be available on Hulu, where the episodes of the previous seasons are currently available for streaming.
'Nashville' Fans Petitions For The Show's Return
According to the reports, fans banded together and launched a social media campaign to revive "Nashville." Lionsgate began pitching for other networks and found a welcoming and warm embrace from CMT.
Although "Nashville" Season 5 is confirmed, there's a drawback. Sources told Rolling Stone that Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere may not join the rest of the "Nashville" cast in their move to CMT. However, some remain hopeful that one or both can still make it in the new home network.
"Nashville" Season 5 has new showrunners. Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick, who are popular in their iconic series "thirtysomething" and "My So Called Life" just signed for the series before the last season ended.
"Nashville" Season 5 is expected to return this fall.
