Nashville will remain in Nashville for season 2, according to the show’s production staff. The ABC drama, which was recently renewed for another season, had not confirmed a location for filming, while producers waited on decisions regarding incentives from the state of Tennessee and from Nashville. Brian Giannone, an assistant line producer for the show and Wendall Hinkle, a key assistant location manager for Nashville, confirmed that the show will continue to be filmed in Music City, according to the Nashville Business Journal.
“I am very excited and looking forward to getting back to Nashville in just a few weeks,” Hinkle said.
During the show’s first season, it had incentives accounting for 32 percent of its Tennessee-based costs, but legislation changed the incentive structure to provide up to 25 percent. Nashville producers have since sought to make up the difference from state and city officials.
