New details about the third season of Nashville have been revealed, including what the writers have been up to lately, giving hints as to what fans are about to see.

Hayden Panettiere's Baby Bump 'Will Be Incorporated' On The Series?

On Saturday, The Tennessean posted a story on Charles Esten, who plays Deacon on the series, with minor information on where the show currently stands.

"(The writers) are all huddled up together and coming up with stories, and it's a little scary when you're a character because it's like the Greek gods are telling you what your fate and what your destiny is going to be... the good news is we know we can trust them," Esten said.

The actor also revealed what his audition was like, which led up to a run-in with Hayden Panettiere, who plays Juliette on the series.

"I went into the room, played a couple songs, did a couple scenes, and actually finished with a couple songs," Esten said. "When I left the audition, I opened the door and there was somebody I'd never met in my life, but I knew as well as you knew, there was Hayden Panettiere, with her ear to the door, grinning and clapping and telling me that I did a great job. I'd never had an audition like that before."

There has been some speculation on what will happen to Juliette since Panettiere is reportedly pregnant. There's a possibility that her character will have some baby trouble on the way although the writers might be able to find a way to cover the baby bump.

Nashville Season 3 is expected to premiere this fall on ABC.
