After ABC took Nashies for a U-turn, CMT successfully relaunched and continued the soapy drama of Nashville on their cable network. After the exciting season 5 finale, Highway 65 record label is in serious trouble, as are some of the other beloved characters.

Now CMT has officially announced a season 6 for the series, which is a great vote of confidence for the series which features former General Hospital favorite, Jonathan Jackson (Avery). The sixth season will premiere in January of 2018.  The announcement came shortly after last Thursday’s season finale.

After the jump watch the season 6 teaser.  Then let us know … glad to hear there is more Nashville on the way? What did you think of the season 5 finale? Comment below.

GH has needed Lucky back for a long time. Recast is in order. Laura needs her kids and we could use storylines that aren’t about St Sonny and his Mob Doll. (Poor Carly, she is wasted in the Sonny orbit.)

To the pals who watch Nashville: mazel tov!

Gonna be a long five months ~~~~

So true!

Please don’t leave out featuring Hayden Panettiere formerly of Guiding Light and One Life to Live!1

Great to hear this fine show has been renewed.

I agree. Can’t wait.

Love Nashville from the start and was so glad CMT picked it up. Can’t wait til next season. I was wondering about how it would work when Reena died but it was a great season! Everybody is involved and I LOVE IT!!!!!

Are you a watcher?? Us Nashies knew back in May it was renuewed!

Awesome news!!!! I hope they give Gunner a real chance at love with someone besides Scarlett!!

Yes, Diane. Gunnar needs a break and Scarlett has had enough chances.

I hope they give Avery and Juliette more air time together…they need to be happy. From the clip I hope Juliette doesn’t disappear again.

GREAT NEWS…….SHOW GETS BETTER WITH EVERY EPISODE….LONG TIME TIL JANUARY….

Awesome season, awesome show, awesome cast

I love Nashville and glad that we will have a 6th season. My only concern is that the renewal is for only 13 episodes. A season is usually around 20-22 episodes. I hope that this new season length is not a foretelling.

I’m especially happy to hear this because the networks’ fall lineup looks pitiful and redundant. How many Navy Seals shows can there be? And if they think we’re waiting on pins & needles to watch new shows starring……wait for it……..Jeremy Piven and Kyra Sedgwick, they’ve sorely misjudged my tastes. Can’t wait for bratty Juliette, tortured Scarlett, unlucky-in-love Will, and dreamy Gunnar to come back!

Mixed season for “Nashville,” I thought. Gunnar and Scarlet were overplayed, while Will and Zach were ridiculously underplayed. Their breakup in the finale was laughable because we only saw them together about twice — and once was during that one-episode “storyline” about some random dude pining for Zach. Hallie, a complicated and refreshing character, disappeared with a throwaway line about “finding her another producer.” Daphne’s homeless friend was similarly treated. Story points were strangely dropped — so after Scarlett lost the baby, what happened to the commercial where she and Gunnar were building a crib? After they made a big point of telling us Maddie was contractually obligated to change her lyrics because her father signed the contract without reading the small print — a huge opportunity for real emotional conflict — what happened? If she had a contract, how did she get out of it? Considering the showrunners were behind the storytelling of “thirtysomething,” I had higher hopes. At least Avery and Juliette were kept interesting. And Kaitlin Doubleday has been a strong addition to the cast, and they have paced Jessie and Deacon’s growing friendship well. Looking forward to next season, flaws and all!

Hayden Panettiere Reveals Filming ‘Nashville’ was ‘Traumatizing’; Writers Used Her Personal Struggles with Addiction, Postpartum as Storylines

Nashville and former Guiding Light star, Hayden Panettiere (ex-Lizzie, GL) opened up about her final seasons on the ABC country music primetime drama, where the show touched too close to home for the actress who played lead character, Juliette Barnes.

In an interview with The Messenger, Hayden shared that during the run of the show from 2012-2018, she feels that the writers, more often that not, pulled from her real life while crafting Juliette’s storylines.

Hayden said on the years she spent filming the series that it was “also very traumatizing because I felt like I was acting out my own life.”

Previously, the actress had shared that her dependency on alcohol and opioids as a teenager led to her dependency in her adult life. In addition, Nashville told the story of Juliette’s postpartum depression, which also mirrored Panettiere’s experience who went through the same thing when her own daughter was born.

Explaining what went down behind the scenes, Hayden recalled: “Straight from the beginning, it was like, I’m dating a football player, (and then) Juliette dates a football player. And then they turned her into an alcoholic. Then they turned to her leaving her daughter and going to this crazy (place) in Europe, and it was very obvious.”

The actress added, ‘They weren’t doing their homework. They weren’t creating new storylines. They were just looking at my life and going, ‘Oh, let’s just take what she’s going through and put our little spin on it.’ And then, ta-da! It’s done and done.”

Hayden added that she didn’t have time to care of herself and the pain she was going through physically and emotionally, so she tried to watch mindless TV and shows to help her calm down. Panettiere also felt that when she knew she had to go back to the set of Nashville, she did, “anything to keep my mind off of that because I knew that next day I was going to be back at it again. I was like, tear central. I don’t even think on a soap opera that I cried as much (as I did) on Nashville.”

Hayden is set to make three upcoming appearances of her A Conversation With Hayden Panettiere live series in New York on February 23 and Washington D.C. on February 24.

So, do you think the Nashville writers literally stole creative ideas for the character of Juliette Barnes based on Hayden’s personal struggles? It certainly on paper seems so. Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
