Nashville is ending—again. The country music drama will ride off into the proverbial sunset after its upcoming sixth season, its second on CMT. The show was previously cancelled after four seasons on ABC before being revitalized on the cable network.
You’ve got to hand it to that plucky Nashville show: Cancelled by ABC at the end of its fourth season last year, it got picked up by an appropriate new home at CMT.
