Music makes the world go around. It's fuels the aspirations of young hopeful musicians worldwide. The chase if half the excitement. Whether you succeed or crash and burn, you gave it your all to share your expression and creation with the world. It's an industry that will continue to change but will never die. So why not dedicate a television show to rigors of entering the business? And why not base it out of Nashville? After all, it's considered one of the most pivotal hubs of rock and country music in the world.
Well someone did make a series like that and called it, of course, "Nashville." The show follows Connie Britton as Rayna Jaymes, a legendary country music star whose career starts to dwindle, alongside Hayden Panettiere, the rising teen star Juliette Barnes. Now as it gears up for its second season, more details from the set prove that the show will be upping the ante this time around.
According to TVLine, Charley Rose will join the cast as Zoey, an old friend of Ms. O'Connor's who also has hopes of making it as a country star.
"EXCLUSIVE casting news! @CharleyRose has been cast as Zoey, Scarlett's childhood friend who also has dreams of making it big as a singer," the official Nashville team posted on Twitter.
The casting announcement comes in the wake of recent news confirming that sisters Lennon and Maisy Stella as well as Chris Carmack from "The O.C." have been promoted to series regulars for the forthcoming season.
The Stella Sisters have been with the show since the beginning. They were originally cast to play the daughters of Rayna (Connie Britton) and Teddy (Eric Close), but due to visa issues they were unavailable for the original pilot episode. ABC then reshot the episode upon their arrival.
Apart from the show, the young Canadian sisters are YouTube sensations. In fact, that's what caught the producers attention in the first place. Their songs have generated millions of views. One in particular, a cover of Jason Mraz's "I Won't Give Up," has nearly 7.5 million. Check it out below.
"Nashville" will return to ABC September 25.
