Nashville
Nashville premiered on ABC in 2012 and follows the careers of country superstar Rayna James (Connie Britton) and young artist (Hayden Panettiere) as they fight for respect and recognition in the industry.
The series also focuses on singer-songwriter Scarlett O’Connor (Clare Bowen), Rayna’s husband and Nashville mayor Teddy Conrad (Eric Close) and her former lover Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten), as well as aspiring musicians Avery Barkley (Jonathan Jackson) and Gunnar Scott (Sam Palladio).
ABC canceled Nashville in 2016, but the show was picked up by CMT for its fifth and sixth seasons. The series ended in 2018.
