'Nashville' Season 6 News: Five New Recurring Characters Confirmed
With "Nashville" season 6 set to premiere in January next year, filming for the new series is already in full swing. The upcoming series will reportedly include five recurring cast members and will find some of its most fan-favorite characters at multiple crossroads in their lives.
Earlier this week, a new sneak peek for the new season teased that season 6 would bring plenty of drama, which shouldn't come as a surprise for fans since season 5 ended with a lot of Southern drama as well.
It can be recalled that in the season 5 finale, Maddie (Lennon Stella) and Juliette's (Hayden Panettiere) skirmish reached its peak, Gunnar (Sam Palladio) and Scarlett's (Clare Bowen) conflict came to a head, and the Highway 65 artists continued to deal with the opposition.
