“This gives fans a chance to get in on the action, but more so than that it really gives them a voice,” Brown said. “Especially at a company like ours, fans are so passionate. They critique every storyline, every character. Well we’re able now to actually listen to them.”

Brown said the company is deciding between a few different options for where to produce the television show in Nashville, with filming expected to begin in May or June.
