Would Hayden Panettiere Ever Do a Nashville Reboot? She Says…
Emmys 2025: Chase Sui Wonders Teases ‘Buffy’ Reboot With Sarah Michelle Gellar
Hayden Panettiere is down to saddle up and head back to Music City.
The Nashville alum, who starred on the CMT show for six seasons from 2012 to 2018, revealed she would “absolutely” star in a reboot—should one come to pass.
“I’m not sure what I would want it to look like—I’d have to sit with that question for a second,” Hayden told Glamour in an interview published Sept. 15, “but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I feel like Nashville stayed very steady throughout the entire six years, and the storylines just continued to get juicier and juicier. They never ran out of material.”
Plus, the 36-year-old—who played rising country singer Juliette Barnes opposite Connie Britton’s established Rayna Jaymes—knows that fans “really, really loved that show.”
“It was a show that resonated with so many people,” she continued, “and I love hearing about how my character impacted people in general, but especially women and young women going through the tumultuous stuff that Juliette constantly had to deal with.”
Beyond the existing viewers, the Heroes actress would be “thrilled” for a new crop of fans to latch onto Nashville, now that it’s available to stream on Netflix.
