This show ratings wise and even by critics standards was on the bubble, but the revenue model brought in by song downloading on iTunes made it a safe bet for ABC to renew Nashville for season two.
Music legend and entertainment icon Rayna Jaymes has been one of the industry’s top female vocalists for two decades. After working tirelessly to elevate her game, Rayna suddenly discovers her passion for the business is not enough to compete with the new generation of talent lighting up the charts. She is reluctant to accept the emerging trend in the business and refuses to be steamrolled by her longtime label, which she helped build. When they give her an offer she can’t refuse, Rayna is forced to accept the harsh reality that she’ll have to start over and reinvent herself if she plans on being relevant.
Offstage things aren’t much easier for Rayna, whose father, Lamar Wyatt, is Nashville’s most powerful businessman. Their distant relationship is strained by years of resentment and powerful secrets that begin to boil over when Lamar and her sister, Tandy, encourage Rayna’s husband, Teddy, to run for office. For Teddy Conrad, this might be his time to share the spotlight instead of being the man behind the woman. For years he’s competed against Rayna’s greatest love… her music. He’s been haunted by her romantic entanglements, which he thought were buried in the past, but now his choice to align himself with her father could send Rayna running back into the arms of her soul mate.

I’m a huge fan of Nashville, so I’m really excited that it’s been renewed. Unfortunately I probably won’t be able to watch the second season live because I work nights at DISH, but I’ll record it. I already set my DISH Hopper to always record Nashville and everything else on ABC during primetime, so it will be easy for me to see Nashville’s second season even if I forget to set a timer for the show.
