Nashville S5 - Cameron Scoggins, Odessa Adlon casting

Cameron Scoggins (Z, Shades of Blue) has been upped to series regular in the role of “Zach Welles,” as Nashville returns to CMT on Thursday, June 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT for the second half of Season 5.

·       “Zach Welles” is a young Silicon Valley billionaire with a ready smile.  Boyish, ebullient and personable, Zach is a nerd who made good, and though still a nerd, he has the confidence and self-image of someone who isn’t.

·       Scoggins is represented by The Gersh Agency and Perennial Entertainment.

·       Newcomer Odessa Adlon has been cast in the recurring role of “Liv” in Season 5.

·       Tough, but vulnerable, Liv is a teen runaway who has ditched a bad situation to live on the streets among a loose collection of other runaway teens. She is a quick thinker who has a mischievous sense of humor and dominant personality (bit of a “wise-ass,” especially with adults).

·       Adlon is represented by Don Buchwald & Associates and Royle Dice.

·       In its fifth season in the U.S., Nashville has been a record-breaker for CMT, where episodes have become the network’s most-watched original series telecasts ever.

·       Produced by Lionsgate, ABC Studios, and Opry Entertainment, the second half of Season 5 of Nashville is set to premiere on CMT on Thursday, June 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with Season 6 of the series scheduled to begin airing in early 2018.

·       Hulu will continue to bring Nashville fans their favorite series 24/7 by making all episodes available to stream just one-day after they air on CMT. Fans can catch up on all past episodes of the series now, only on Hulu.

·       Nashville is executive produced by Marshall Herskovitz, Ed Zwick, Callie Khouri and Steve Buchanan.
