The first season of ABC’s drama series Nashville will receive its UK premiere on More4 on Thursday February 7th at 10pm, it has been announced.

Created by Callie Khouri and R.J. Cutler, Nashville follows Rayna James, a country legend who’s had a career any singer would envy, though lately her popularity is starting to wane. Fans still line up to get her autograph, but she’s not packing the arenas like she used to. Rayna’s record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes, the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can’t wait to steal Rayna’s spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Could the undiscovered songwriting talent of Scarlett O’Connor be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career? Complicating matters, Rayna’s wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton, is a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna’s handsome husband, Teddy, in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna’s wishes. The series is produced by ABC Studios & Lionsgate Television and stars Connie Britton, Eric Close, Sam Palladio, Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson, Powers Boothe, Robert Wisdom, Hayden Panettiere and Charles Esten.

Nashville is on the move.

Channel 4 is relocating the Connie Britton fronted series from its previous home on More4 to their youth-skewing channel E4 for its 22 episode third season, TVWise has learned. Nashville’s third season will receive its UK premiere on Wednesday May 13th at 10pm.

Created by Callie Khouri and RJ Cutler Nashville is a soap set in Nashville which follows the careers of two musicians. The drama series is produced by ABC Studios and Lionsgate Television and stars Connie Britton, Eric Close, Sam Palladio, Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson, Hayden Panettiere and Charles Esten.

In the opening episode of the show’s third season, a torn Rayna must choose not just between two men, but two directions that her life could take.

Meanwhile, Scarlett, determined to start fresh, embarks on a road trip home and bonds with an unexpected stowaway, and Will and Layla manage the fallout from his on-camera confession.
