Nashville begins its new life on CMT after the network partnered with Hulu to resurrect the cancelled ABC drama. But showrunner Marshall Herskovitz still laments the alphabet’s decision to axe the series, per THR:
Working with CMT’s been fantastic. I actually prefer being at CMT and I don’t mean in any way to disparage ABC, we had a long relationship with ABC, but, look, ABC canceled it. (Laughs.) We were on board before they canceled it, we were there when they canceled it. I wasn’t real happy about that. (Laughs.) They didn’t believe in the show anymore. So if they didn’t believe in the show anymore, I don’t want to be where I’m not wanted. Our plans were the same and I think ABC would have been supportive of what we were doing, if they were supportive of the show but they weren’t. So if it didn’t fit in with their strategy then so be it. I’d rather be where I’m wanted. CMT has been an incredible partner for us.
Can Nashville extend its life on CMT? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Nashville Season 6…
