Currently airing its second season on CMT, which picked up the show after ABC suddenly cancelled it at the end of its fourth season, the show follows country music stars Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), Deacon Claiborne (Charles Esten) and their families as they pursue their dreams in country music. The show’s biggest star, Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton), was killed off the show in season 5.
Jonathan Jackson, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio and Lennon Stella also star.
Produced by Lionsgate and Opry Entertainment, the series is executive produced by Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick, Steve Buchanan and Callie Khouri.
