Season 6 of the country-music drama will consist of 16 episodes, premiering in early 2018.
Nashville made its official CMT debut in January to a total audience of 1.2 million, before floating down toward the 800,000-viewer range. But since Rayna’s death, the audience has ticked up, settling back in around a million viewers.
