Charles Esten, one of the biggest stars on the TV show "Nashville," spoke in front of a crowd of hundreds Friday morning, confirming what he called "one of the worst kept secrets in Nashville right now."
"I"m very, very grateful to say that "Nashville" will have a season five," Esten told the euphoric crowd, which erupted into cheers.
Esten credited the prime time drama"s return to the airwaves to a passionate fan base.
He gave The Tennessean a shout-out during his talk, telling the crowd that was how he found out that the deal was a go. "I read The Tennessean article when you read The Tennessean article," he said. "Those guys are good."
The Tennessean confirmed late Thursday that the primetime dramawill return for a fifth season on CMT and Hulu. Esten had remained optimistic about the show"s chances of returning with the help of another network.
