In the first episode, the series focuses on the rivalry of Rayna Jaymes and Juliette Barnes. Rayna Jaymes is the established "Queen of Country Music". However, her latest album is not selling well and her tour is playing to half empty venues. Her record label suggests that she open for Juliette Barnes, the young and beautiful best-selling singer of bubble gum country pop. Juliette sees Rayna as privileged and purposefully alienates her. Rayna, who dislikes Juliette's style of music, rejects a joint tour out of hand. The two women come into conflict as each tries to get guitarist Deacon Claybourne, Rayna's bandmate and former lover, to sign on to their tour. Rayna's life is further complicated when her estranged father, millionaire businessman Lamar Wyatt, convinces her husband, Teddy Conrad, to run for Mayor of Nashville.

For later episodes through season four, the series follows the lives of country musicians, focusing on three female leads: country superstar Rayna Jaymes, rising problematic star Juliette Barnes, and newcomer singer-songwriter Scarlett O'Connor.

From mid-season five, the series follows the lives of country musicians, focusing on two female leads: rising star Maddie Conrad, Rayna James' daughter, and fading star Juliette Barnes, as well as focusing on recurring characters.

The premise beginning with season six followed country stars Juliette Barnes, Deacon Claybourne, and the Highway 65 record label family as they strive to keep Rayna Jaymes' dream alive and pursue their music while juggling relationships, family, and the ever-changing industry. [11]

Powers Boothe and Robert Wisdom were reduced to recurring status, in the second season for creative reasons.

Scoggins left the main cast after the fifth season but did recur. Kaitlin Doubleday, who portrays Jessie Caine—a musician who returns to town to focus on her career and take back the son who was taken from her—was upped from recurring to series regular near the end of season five, and she returned as a regular for the sixth season. Another season five recurring player, Jeff Nordling, was also upped to series regular for season six.

Production

Development and filming

The series was created by Callie Khouri, who won an Academy Award for Thelma & Louise. Khouri lived in Nashville from 1978 to 1982. [23] In an interview for The New York Times she said "This is a place that can be mocked and made fun of, and sometimes it deserves it, like any place. But it also is an incredibly beautiful, cosmopolitan city, and I wanted to show that to the world. I want to represent it in a way that everybody who lives here would find completely realistic." [23] Nashville was the first television series in Khouri's career, after working for two decades as a film writer and director creating strong female characters. [24]

The production began in 2011. In October 2011, ABC bought the original concept from Khouri. [25] Documentary filmmaker R. J. Cutler also joined the project as executive producer alongside Khouri. [25] Nashville was produced by Lionsgate Television with ABC Studios. ABC ordered the pilot on January 27, 2012. [26] [27] The pilot episode was filmed in March 2012 and directed by series producer R. J. Cutler. [28] The series was picked up by ABC on May 11, 2012, and premiered on the network on October 10, 2012 as part of its 2012–13 television season. [29] Dee Johnson joined the series as executive producer and showrunner as of the fourth episode, replacing Jim Parriott. [30] [31] On November 12, 2012, the series was picked up for a full season run, [32] which was shortened by one episode by the producers (due to production difficulties) rather than the network. [33]

A number of television critics characterized Nashville as " Dallas in Tennessee." [34] [35] The original concept was focused on the backdrop of the real country music world. [25] ABC's promotional campaign for the series premiere was primarily focused on the rivalry between a young and ruthless country pop diva (Panettiere) and a past-her-peak superstar (Britton). [23] Nashville was filmed on location and on soundstages in Nashville. The Bluebird Cafe, an important local performance arena, is a frequent setting; the show's art department, headed by production designer Jeff Knipp, precisely replicated its exterior and interior in a Nashville sound stage. [36] After weeks of rumors that production would move elsewhere, it was announced that season two would also be filmed on location in Nashville. [37] Nashville budget hovered in the neighborhood of $4 million per episode in season one. [38] The budget for each season of the series was roughly $39.7 million, $90.2 million, $91.7 million, $85.6 million, $86.6  million, and $62.4 million respectively, with the series' budget as a whole totaling $456 million.

Tours

After successful American tours in 2014 and 2015, dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland were announced along with further US performances in 2016. [100] More UK performances followed in 2017. [101] Another U.S. tour in the summer of 2017, and a final UK tour came in spring 2018; the tour was kicked off with a final season celebration at the Grand Ole Opry on March 25, 2018. [102]

Cancellation and move to CMT

On May 12, 2016 ABC cancelled the country music drama after a season of flagging ratings. [103] The cancellation came as a surprise due to the fact that the network had named new show runners Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick prior to the cancellation, and previous network president Paul Lee had stated that "Nashville has a lot more story to tell" during the TCA winter press tour. [104] Amidst the cancellation, Lionsgate TV was so confident in its efforts to find a new home for Nashville that the studio opted to forgo the happily-ever-after alternative series ending it had planned in order to give closure to fans, and go instead with a cliffhanger ending in the season 4 finale. [105] Fans began to doubt the efforts of Lionsgate when actress and executive producer Connie Britton began to embark on what seemed to be a swan song of nighttime talk show appearances.[ citation needed]

Over 171,000 signatures were received on a #BringBackNashville petition. [106] The night of the season finale Lionsgate tweeted "#Nashies What a cliffhanger! But we won't leave you hanging. There's more story to be told. #BringBackNashville." The producing partner had already been fielding offers from four or five networks. As the negotiations began to draw to a close, it was rumored that the announcement would be made during the high-profile CMT Music Awards. When no announcement was made, fans began to doubt the show's return. On June 10, 2016, CMT released a press statement stating that a deal had been made with CMT and Hulu. CMT would air a full season of 22 episodes, and Hulu would make them available the next day as well as carry the entirety of the shows backlog. [107] The pick-up was assisted by $11 million in economic incentives: $8.5 million coming via the State of Tennessee Film Office, $1 million from the City of Nashville, $1 million from the Nashville Convention & Visitor Corp., and $500,000 from Ryman Hospitality. [108] It was announced on June 29, 2016 that all cast members with the exception of Will Chase and Aubrey Peeples would return for season 5.

Aftershow

On January 4, 2017, CMT announced that there would be a Nashville aftershow entitled NashChat. [109] Nashchat aired live across social media platforms immediately following every new episode. [109] It was interactive with the fans, and featured a cast member appearing each week. [4] The host of Nashchat is a co-host of the morning radio show The Bobby Bones Show, Amy Brown. NashChat did not return for season six. As of February 21, 2020, the episodes are available on CMT's official YouTube account. [110]

Season 1

The first season received critical acclaim. Metacritic gave the show a rating of 84 out of 100 or "universal acclaim" based on 32 reviews. [133] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 92% based on 50 reviews, and the average rating is 8.58/10. [132] The consensus on the site reads "Nashville promotes catchy pop-western tunes and plays to non-fans of the genre with its sharp atmosphere and its stellar narratives." Season one was called one of the most exciting new series of the 2012 Fall season. [140] Alan Sepinwell stated that the series was "a smart mix of soap opera, music and political intrigue." [141] The series drew more soap comparison, with David Hiltbrand drawing comparisons to hit-soap, Dynasty, and praising the dynamic of leads Rayna, and Juliette. [142] The performances of Britton, Panettiere and Boothe received critical acclaim. [143] [144]

Season 2

The second season received positive reviews, with a rating of 100% based on nine reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. [134]

Season 3

Season three also earned positive reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gave the season a rating of 100% based on eight reviews, the average rating is 8/10. [135] Critics praised the season's continuing good quality, with Rolling Stone saying "It's nice to call Nashville – and to have Nashville – home." [145]

Season 4

The fourth season opened to positive reviews, scoring an 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praised Hayden Panettiere's performance, with Lindsay MacDonald stating "First of all, a round of applause for Hayden Panettiere and her amazing range. She portrayed the full spectrum of emotion, from flirty to bitchy to carefree to decimated. She might be all over the board, but she owns every single scene.", and the general consensus praising the show's soap elements, and the general music focus. Kaitlin Thomas from TV.com claimed that the series was "the greatest modern soap the world has ever seen". [146]

Season 5

The season five premiere was well received. Most critics praised the season premiere, stating "The original tenor of the series is one of the things that made it so appealing in the first place. Add to this that the tempo of the narrative is ideal, and episodes never drag", though Gwen Ihnat from The A.V. Club criticized the season, stating "Nashville now almost always bums me out, even more so because it used to be a show I once looked forward to every week. But I haven't felt that way in quite a while now." [147]

Season 6

Rotten Tomatoes gives the season an 80%, based on six critics, the lowest of all seasons. Entertainment Weekly's Kristen Baldwin gave the season a B+, and stated "In the end, Nashville remained true to its central love story." [148] Ken Tucker of Yahoo! TV gave a positive review, and wrote "When you combine this bubbly soap opera material with amusingly lively scenes of Will, Avery, and Gunnar getting together to form the band you didn't know you'd always wanted, Nashville seems to be going out with an enjoyable blast." [149] New York Magazine gave the season premiere a 3/5. [150] Conversely, Savannah Brooks of The Young Folks claims that "the characters used to be happy and have a purpose. It's time to stop letting one character's death dictate the rest of the series", in regards to the sixth season, rating it a 4/10. [151] TVLine cited the cult plotline of the season as one of the worst plot twists of the last decade. [152]

Impact

The series has been noted multiple times for its impact on the economy of the state of Tennessee and is credited with increasing tourism to the city and the state. The director of the Grand Ole Opry has stated that the series brought awareness to the arena, while the Tennessean reports that the series brought an "incredible wave of growth, media attention and tourism for its namesake city". [207] Butch Spyridon, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation, claimed that the show was a "huge [...] marketing asset, has put an important spotlight on our songwriter community and the cast members have been incredible advocates for [the city] as well". The series also brought a wave of tourism to the city, with 1 in 5 visitors to the city attributed to having watched the series. Nashville viewers also spent more money and stayed longer in town than usual visitors. [208] Erika Woolam Nichols, COO of The Bluebird Cafe, which was often promoted on the series, stated that "[The Bluebird] [has] had a lot more interest in the venue from the general public; not just music fans as in the past but a greater cross-section of the population. Now our shows sell out in minutes rather than a few days", while noting that the venue has "lots of people who just want to have their picture taken in front of the club." [208] [209] With the series being "a brand" [210] for ABC and Disney, the network set up several Nashville-themed tours and activities; including a four-day, three-night tour package. [208] Further reflecting the series' status as a brand, several displays and promotional posters are on display at Disney World in the ABC Commissary Restaurant. [211]

Broadway adaptation

On March 5, 2019, it was announced that Scott Delman had acquired the theatrical rights to the series to produce a Broadway musical adaptation of the series with an all-new score. [212]

Bluebird Reunion

Several of the series' cast members, including Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, and Jonathan Jackson reunited for the CMT documentary film Bluebird. The special aired on February 19, 2020, on CMT and was an in-depth look at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, where the show shot many scenes throughout its run. Also featured in the documentary were many prominent musicians, including Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift, and several more. [213] [214]
