Connie Britton has only signed on for 10 episodes of Nashville’s upcoming 22-episode fifth season on CMT, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Could Nashville still be Nashville without Rayna James?
Around the time of Nashville’s cancellation at ABC, Britton said she would find it difficult to continue working in Tennessee, given the recent passage of an anti-LGBT bill in the state.
It’s unclear whether Britton plans to leave the show, or whether she just hasn’t negotiated a deal to appear in the other 12 episodes yet.
