Fans of ABC's music industry drama 'Nashville' were elated to learn that the series managed to avoid the axe and was picked up for a second season; unfortunately, given the amount of money the network had committed to the series, that second season comes with cutbacks to ensure the series remains cost-effective.

So far, the changes being made to 'Nashville' are on the production and post-production ends of the project, so fans can breathe easy that the creative side--the writing and the characters--should remain intact.

Line producer Loucas George, who was responsible for running the production on location in Nashville itself, announced on Twitter shortly after the renewal 10 days ago that his contract had not been renewed. That also applies to his team, including production supervisor Don Bensko. When shooting a television series, it is the line producer's job to handle all of the financial details. Some of a film's expenses are what is known as "above the line" expenses, meaning they are known in advance. These costs include things like crew salaries, story rights and camera equipment. Other expenses are "below the line," meaning additional, unexpected expenses, such as last-minute wardrobe additions, insurance fees and scheduling changes.

The production of 'Nashville' has been a rocky one, with series star Connie Britton speaking out regarding a grueling work schedule. Bensko?s wife Micaela, lamenting the decision not to pick up her husband?s option, spoke about ?14-20 hour days with an unrelenting schedule due to issues beyond their control? and ?a string of endless and exhausting shoot days? as ?a string of delayed scripts and tripping storylines kept everyone on edge.?

Reportedly much of the frustration of the series is that the show itself is filmed in Nashville while the production remains housed in Los Angeles. A new line producer will go a long way towards making or breaking the production stresses for a second season.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
