Big Little Lies' star Jeff Nordling will be joining the Nashville cast as Brad Maitland, a successful, charming, egotistical and narcissistic owner of the most successful record label in town.

Could he be coming for some of Highway 65's artists? Will he become an ally to Deacon while he takes the reins of Rayna's label? We don't know yet, but we can't wait to find out.
