Wednesday, October 10
- The next great drama, Nashville, where all of the actors do their own singing, premieres this Wednesday at 10pm ET/9pm CT on ABC. In the pilot show, chart-topping Rayna James, played by Connie Britton, is a country superstar who’s popularity is starting to decline. Her record label thinks a concert tour opening up for Juliette Barnes, played by Hayden Panetierre, is exactly the boost her career needs. Sharing the stage with up and coming, sexy, pop vixen, however, is the last thing Rayna wants to do. Get a sneak peek here.
