Country music drama Nashville has taken a bow for potentially the last time. The hit series, starring Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton, aired its final episode last night, after being cancelled by ABC earlier this month.

But creator Callie Khouri isn't ready to go down without a fight.

Last night's season four finale ended on a huge cliffhanger in what is reportedly an intentional move from studio Lionsgate, who are optimistic they can find another home for the show.

“Nashville fans are the absolute best, and support for the #BringBackNashville campaign has been amazing,” Khouri added. “We are so grateful for our extremely loyal following. We have stories left to tell and songs left to sing.”

But in the very last moments of the episode, Avery learned that the plane had been lost, and Juliette's fate was unknown.
