Nashville - Renewal Being Aimed for Full Season

May 9, 2014

Share on Reddit
Update from Deadline: Still no resolution on the renewal, but I hear the co-producers, Lionsgate TV and ABC Studios, are working on making the numbers work. That is focusing on state tax credits (the series films in Nashville), which have to be worked out for the series to get a formal renewal. And yes, the goal is to get to 22 episodes….

Nashville - Renewal Pending Over Episode Order Discussions
Nashville had been fully expected to get a third season renewal. I hear that indeed is the intention, though the size of the pickup is the subject of a debate. I hear ABC has offered a 13-episode order for the show, which is co-produced by Lionsgate TV and ABC Studios. Nashville is a very expensive show, so I hear the 13-episode pickup makes its production infeasible for Lionsgate. Talks continue.

  2. At least it would get renewed!!

  3. This is exhausting to wait for :( Surely the show makes a lot of money too? Sell out concert tour, plus the albums.

    ReplyDelete
  4. they should just cancel it at this point...

    ReplyDelete
  5. I really hope it comes back, the finale we're getting just doesn't seem enough to sort everything out. This is exhausting!

    ReplyDelete
  6. It looks like it's going to end on a cliffhanger.

    ReplyDelete
  7. 1) the ratings are horrible for the show
    2) the show is expensive
    3) by making it only 13 eps it will take much longer for it to reach 88

    ReplyDelete
  8. So that is code for Lionsgate is losing money on the show and needs syndication money to turn a profit, and with only 13 episodes for season 3, syndication because doubtful.

  9. Today so many of my favorite shows were cancelled. Please at least renew Nashville

    ReplyDelete
  10. I know. We have the proposal, the whole Juliette and Avery dilemma and Will's sexuality issues.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I hope they at least get to wrap everything up.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Please, please renew this ABC, there's so much cancellations today, and all my friends are going to wonder what's wrong with me, but I'm too attached to my shows :( .I love this show and amazing music!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Perhaps Lionsgate could approach Netflix or Amazon and try for the "Under The Dome" deal to make up for the loss of syndication money.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I kind of agree. Unless it's getting a full season (so it's closer to syndication), I really don't see the point in renewing it.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Reading the article, the entire blame can't go to ABC if Lionsgate is not willing to accept a 13 episode order.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh yeah definitely, I completely understand, but it's still ad nonetheless, especially if it ends on a cliffhanger, which it may.

    ReplyDelete
  17. *hides in the bushes* How about we see where this one goes.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would think CMT would pick up Nashville regardless of the amount of episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Come on abc renew it.Why I'd there an issue over episode order?Isnt/Wouldn't abc trying to get it to syndication especially since they co-own/co-produce it?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm rather full, so we'll see what happens.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm guessing because if they can't agree on episode order, they can't renew it yet.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I hope things work out so that, at the very least, we get a resolution to the storylines. Admittedly, it hasn't been must-see-tv for me as of late, but I would still like the closure since I do still watch.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hoping for the traditionnal 22 episodes, c'mon Lionsgate!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hope they can work it out!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I know they /won't renew til an episode order is decided but my questions are 1.Wouldnt it be cheaper to produce 13 episodes of an exspensive show rather than 22 so why is it "I feasible for Loinsgate to do 13"? 2.Why would it get 13 episodes?Isnt abc trying to get it to syndication since it co owns/co produces it?

    ReplyDelete
  26. less eps means less money they could earn from commercials

    ReplyDelete
  27. Does this mean that it could be cancelled if Lionsgate doesn't accept the deal? I hope not...

    ReplyDelete
  28. yes it means they will cancel unless a deal is made

    ReplyDelete
  29. Syndication is why Lionsgate wants 22 episodes. If they were smart, they could try to sell the show now to CMT or make an exclusive streaming deal with Amazon or Netflix like Under The Dome, the episode of UTD is on Amazon four days after it airs on CBS.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Brandy, to answer your question, ABC Network and ABC Studios are two different entities.

    The ABC Studios are the ones co-producing, and they are the make money from syndication.

    The ABC Network can only profit from ad revenue, which in the case
    of Nashville is super low. They have no stake in the money made from
    syndication. Unless they can get the studio to reduce the license fee or shorten the episode order, in they minds they can't afford to pay the license fee for 22 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  31. They have a deal with Hulu to stream full seasons already in place.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ok than Lionsgate should ask Hulu if they would like to get new episodes four days after they air on ABC, and redo the deal if they can. Amazon reportedly pays about 750,000 an episode for Under The Dome in order to have episodes four days after they air on CBS.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Okay...I was thinking about showing mercy and just wounding it for a reduced order, now they're thinking of going for a full season. Someone is taking advantage of my generosity.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Come on 22 episodes! Then Season 4 will be so much more likely :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yess I knew it.come on two give it 22 !

    ReplyDelete
  36. You still have the CBS cancellations yet...

    ReplyDelete
  37. I don't understand why they dont put season 1 on Netflix. Most other ABC shows are there, and the second they go up I will catch up and become a viewer.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Tax credits huh...so this is what it takes to keep a show on air these days, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Unfortunately, CMT doesn't pay as much as TNT or more mainstream syndication channels.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Happy but its a shame that it is expensive to produce, never would have thought. They need to put this show in a better time slot and yes Netflix season 1, really? this is a really good show and I wish they would try to promote it better. Plus I really hope it gets full episode renewal, this is the one show of mine i've been very nervous about all day.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Think there was a rumor that the show might leave Nashville and move to Texas over the tax credit issue. Also we are talking about saving something along the lines of 250,000 an episode

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think that may annoy some folks IN nashville. But if it keeps the show on air...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Fans like me will just happy its on.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It won't be just "omg it's not authentic now!!!11" but jobs around the area in Nashville, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  45. There is no guarantee the show ends up TNT for syndication.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Is Nashville that expensive?

    ReplyDelete
  47. You would think they'd worked out the state credit/budget numbers by now. It's almost as if - OMG it's "renewal" day so let's start negotiations!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hah, Renewal Day. I kinda want to make that an international holiday now :P

    ReplyDelete
  49. Maybe it's the last resort thing? Or well, you could move the show to Texas as someone else said.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Season 1 of Nashville is on Netflix

    ReplyDelete
  51. All I know is certain states like North Carolina want to get rid of tax incentives all together. There were rumors that shows would move from NC to Georgia for example. Let's say Texas is willing to give the show a tax credit of $500,000 an episode and Tennessee is $300,000 an episode, than the show could save $200,000 an episode.

  52. While season 2 has struggled with some of the storylines (for example, they have assassinated the character of Scarlett, who is unbearable at this point), the music of the show continues to be incredible, as recently demonstrated by the Nashville On The Record concert, with the cast singing songs from the show live and doing an amazing job at it. Plus Connie Britton and her beautiful hair can justify a season renewal.

  53. no one really about CBS shows getting cancelled or not though

    I would love an announced final season, whether 13 or 22 episodes. I just want a good ending!

    ReplyDelete
  55. No, they took the show down a while back :/

    ReplyDelete
  56. They better renew!

    ReplyDelete
  57. It's still on the Canadian Netflix guess the American one is different.

    ReplyDelete
