Bad news for Nashville fans — ABC has canceled the country music drama after four seasons.
Signs had been positive on a Season 5 renewal for Nashville, co-produced by Lionsgate TV and ABC Studios. There had been excitement at the network over the hire by Lionsgate TV of veterans Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick, who already are working with writers on breaking stories for next season.
Still, with Castle also on the bubble, coming off a highly rated episode on Monday, it was always a hard decision.
