CMT is in talks to revive the country music drama, which was canceled in May after four seasons on ABC, though nothing official has been announced.
“We live here now, so whichever way we go, Scarlett started here,” the 32-year-old singer-actress said, referencing her fiance Brandon Robert Young and pointing to her heart. “We’re still going to be at the Grand [Ole] Opry if they’ll have us.”
Bowen expressed enthusiasm for a potential Nashville revival on a network like CMT.
“Oh yeah. I mean, it’s a wonderful show. As long as it represents Nashville, the city, as what it actually is, that’s the most important thing. That it’s not just a television show,” she said. “This is a place where country music history was born, so it’s important.”

Nashvilleended its run on ABC with a series finale cliffhanger, when it appeared one of its main characters, Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), may have perished in a fatal plane crash.
Following the episode, Lionsgate TV -- the studio behind Nashville -- reassured fans looking for answers that there was more to come, writing, "What a cliffhanger! But we won’t leave you hanging. There's more story to be told. #BringBackNashville."
News of Nashville’s cancellation came on the same day Panettiere revealed she was still struggling with postpartum depression and would be taking time to “reflect holistically” on her well-being.
“She probably just needed more help,” a source told ET. “And her heart wasn’t in it to focus on the show.”
