Hey there, friends! Last year was a tough one for many of us, and let's be honest—missing Connie Britton on our screens didn't make it any easier. If you're wondering what the talented actress is up to since her departure from Nashville, we’ve got the scoop for you. Let’s dive in!
Now, here's the bummer: Connie has already wrapped her role as Abby Clark in the hit FOX procedural drama 9-1-1. This show was brought to us by the creative minds of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the same folks behind American Horror Story. Connie only committed to one season, where she worked alongside Angela Bassett and Peter Krause. While it’s sad to see her go, her character left a lasting impression.

But guess what? We'll definitely see more of Connie on the screen this year! She's set to star in the first season of the Bravo series Dirty John. And for Netflix fans, she'll also appear in the dramedy film Land of Steady Habits. In this movie, Connie plays a divorcee who forms a meaningful connection with the lead character, played by Ben Mendelsohn, as he navigates a midlife crisis. Fun fact: Ben starred alongside Kyle Chandler, Connie’s on-screen husband from Friday Night Lights, in the Netflix series Bloodline.
Looking Back at Connie's Nashville Days
Of course, it’s hard to forget her iconic role as Rayna James on Nashville. Connie left the show in 2017, not long after it transitioned from ABC to CMT. When asked about her decision in an interview with TVLine, she explained it was something she'd been considering for a while, with multiple factors influencing her choice. While we miss her country tunes, her career is still thriving in other directions.
Connie’s Recent Projects
Since her final performance on Nashville, Connie has kept herself busy. She had a recurring role as Ally in the Showtime comedy SMILF. Additionally, she portrayed Josette Frank, a real-life figure who directed the Child Study Association, in the film Professor Marston and the Wonder Women. Interestingly, Josette wasn't a fan of the Wonder Woman comic—talk about a clash of opinions!

When she's not acting, Connie dedicates her time as a United Nations Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador, a role she's held since 2014. Her work focuses on alleviating poverty and empowering women globally. And of course, she’s also a proud mom, raising her son Yoby, whom she adopted from Ethiopia in 2011.
Could There Be a Friday Night Lights Reunion?
Let’s talk about something exciting: a potential Friday Night Lights reunion. Last June, Connie told Today that she’d be open to the idea. “If Kyle wants to do a reunion... I love Kyle, I love the show,” she said. Sounds like a dream come true for fans, doesn’t it? Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose!
