Default ABC Picks Up Nashville TV Series

ABC has picked up a new television series set in Nashville which they creatively named "Nashville".

According to the report it is a drama set against the Nashville music scene. I have no idea if it will be any good, but it is cool to see Nashville get some exposure. Would be cool if it is high quality and becomes a success.

Don't be surprised if Nashville winds up suspiciously resembling Vancouver, Canada.

I know they at least shot some of it in Nashville. They had a production office off of West End Ave last year.

Here's the scoop!

The Scoop: Nashville


http://cdn.beta.abc.com/service/imag...jpg?cb=30732.0


Chart-topping Rayna James (Connie Britton) is 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 (Hayden Panettiere), 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 (Clare Bowen) be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career?

Complicating matters, Rayna's wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), 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.

Nashville stars Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights, American Horror Story) as Rayna, Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) as Juliette, Powers Boothe (MacGruber, 24) as Lamar, Charles Esten (Enlightened, Big Love) as Deacon, Eric Close (Chaos, Without a Trace) as Teddy, Clare Bowen as Scarlett, Jonathan Jackson (General Hospital) as Avery, Sam Palladio as Gunnar and Robert Wisdom as Coleman.

Nashville was written by Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise) who is an executive producer along with R.J. Cutler (The September Issue, The War Room, A Perfect Candidate) and Steve Buchanan. The pilot for Nashville was directed by R.J. Cutler. The series is produced by Lionsgate, ABC Studios and Gaylord Entertainment.

On the surface, it sounds a little too close to Country Strong: The Series for comfort, but a show's concept is just a framework. Good shows are about compelling characters. Connie Britton's awesome and there's plenty of source material here in town to inspire compelling characters if they look for it, but if they get lazy and just fall back on the stock types of the genre, I'll pass.

I heard they spent several days shooting at the Bluebird and the owners (or managers?) provided input to make the performance seem as realistic as possible. That gives me hope about it!

I agree, it sounds like a Country Strong rip off. I love Nashville and hope it will be represented positively. I laughed at what SyraBrian said about Vancouver......too true.
