The show, which was created by Callie Khouri and is executive produced by R.J. Cutler of "The September Issue" (he also directed the pilot), has been performing well in terms of ratings in the Adults 18-49 demo, and as you might expct is particularly strong in pulling in female audiences, with strong, complex women as its two lead characters.
ABC earlier gave full season orders to aliens-next-door comedy "The Neighbors" and to "Scandal" in a broadcast season that's been shaken up by low ratings and audiences movings to DVR and streaming viewing, prompting many networks to hold on to shows that would have already been canceled in previous years.
In addition to Britton, "Nashville" stars Hayden Panettiere, Charles Esten, Eric Close, Clare Bowen and Powers Boothe.

I am so excited that Nashville finally got picked up for a full season. I donât think its storytelling has been slow at all, and I really liked the last episode. I couldnât watch it live because I work late at DISH on Wednesdays, but I saw it on my DVR. I have the Hopper from DISH, which is set to auto-record Nashville and the other big four prime time network shows using Primetime Anytime, so I can always watch the show even though I work when it airs. Iâm looking forward to the rest of the season, and finding out what happens with Rayna and Juliette.
