CMT is reportedly in talks to acquire ABC's canceled show,
Nashville and bring it back for a fan-desired season 5. Lionsgate Television say they have several buyers interested in renewing the series.
Fans and the cast were very upset about the sudden cancellation especially after the abrupt and unresolved ending of season 4. CMT seems to be a perfect home for the series.
Nashville's past ratings would be big for CMT and the brand would work well. Lionsgate has said that they have "long-term deals with the cast" but there is no news of which characters would return if the series is brought back. The showrunners will reportedly be back. If it does well, Lionsgate is hopeful that the show could continue for many seasons past season 5. We should know more soon.
