"Nashville has cut back its first season by one episode. The series - which stars Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton - was originally picked up for a full season of 22 episodes.  However, the show&amp;#039;s first season will now wrap after just 21 instalments, according to the Futon Critic. The cutback was reportedly the choice of Nashville&amp;#039;s production team, rather than network ABC, with only 21 episodes being completed in time for the show&amp;#039;s May 22 finale. Nashville is yet to be picked up for a second season by ABC - the show&amp;#039;s future will be decided prior to Tuesday, May 14, which is the date of the network&amp;#039;s annual upfront presentation. The series airs on More4 in the UK on Thursdays at 10pm. &amp;gt; The OC star Chris Carmack joins Nashville &amp;gt; Nashville casts True Blood actor Daniel Buran as a rock star Watch a promo for Nashville below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
