where do they film the tv show nashville
Nashville (2012 TV series) A number of television critics characterized Nashville as "Dallas in Tennessee."[27][28] The original concept was focused on the backdrop of the real country music world.[18] ABC's promotional campaign for the series premiere was primarily focused on the rivalry between a young and ruthless country pop diva (Panettiere) and a past-her-peak superstar (Britton).[16] Nashville was filmed on location and on soundstages in Nashville. The Bluebird Cafe, an important local performance arena, is a frequent setting; the show's art department, headed by production designer Jeff Knipp, precisely replicated its exterior and interior in a Nashville sound stage.[29] After weeks of rumors that production would move elsewhere, it was announced that season two would also be filmed on location in Nashville.[30] Nashville budget hovered in the neighborhood of $4 million per episode in season one.[31]
