Get ready for more country music drama on "Nashville." As seen in a recently released teaser trailer, season 6 will be filled with more music and drama.

The clip shows Juliette Barnes, played by Hayden Panettiere, having a full emotional breakdown as she performs. She then tells the crowd watching her that she doesn't want their money, attention and love and then walks away from the stage.

The 30-second teaser does not reveal too much with regard to spoilers but it does shed some insight into some of the characters hairstyles, like Gunnar Scott (Sam Palladio) and Will Lexington (Chris Carmack).

CMT, the network that airs "Nashville," has released hints about the upcoming season and viewers can expect themes of "love, friendship, family and fame" to make up the storylines of season 6.

In an interview with Deadline following the season 5 finale, executive producer Marshall Herskovitz teased that certain characters will be making a comeback like Brad Maitland, played by Jeffrey Nordling.

The showrunner also added that they are planning to introduce new characters that will spice up the show. He revealed that season 6 will bring people and careers together and how this will shape each other.

Herskovitz also foreshadowed that Will, Gunnar, Avery Barkley (Jonathan Jackson) and Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen) will make interesting career choices and viewers should watch closely at how they will arrive at those decisions.

The fifth season finale saw Juliette turning a new leaf by admitting publicly that she stole a song that was for Maddie Conrad (Lennon Stella). Her sacrifice got her disqualified from the American Music Awards. Another act kindness demonstrated by Juliette was when she saved Highway 65 from getting shut down.

Season 6 of "Nashville" will return to CMT in January 2018.
