American television series Nashville has been axed just prior to the end of its fourth season.
The show, featuring Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) and Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) as successful country music singers, was a steady ratings earning for ABC with its soundtrack CDs and performance tours raking in big money.
Ideas were already rolling for the now in-question fifth season, but not all hope is lost as they are hoping to be picked up by American internet streaming giants Hulu.
