Charles Esten had some big news at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday night (Aug. 12): information about Nashville‘s Season 5 premiere.
According to Esten, the fifth season of the TV drama will premiere in December. The Opry shared the news on social media during the singer-slash-actor’s appearance; Sounds Like Nashville reports that show creator Callie Khouri was also in attendance. However, a CMT spokesperson tells TV Line that a premiere date has not yet been set.
Following ABC’s cancellation of Nashville in mid-May, and thanks in part to fan demand, CMT picked up the show for a fifth season in early June. Nashville will be broadcast and streamed on CMT, and also streamed on Hulu, which currently carries the show’s previous seasons.
