Mendler will play the role of a "young [and] beautiful" YouTube star named Ashley Wilkenson, who is set to record her first studio album.

CMT television network describes the "Nashville" season 5 new character as "self-assured, stubborn and extremely talented, but behind her tough exterior is a well of vulnerability."

The "Wizards of Waverly Place" alum is just one of the many stars set to appear in "Nashville" season 5 as the show goes big for its new season.

Cameron Scoggins will also star in the new season as Zach Welles, a young Silicon Valley billionaire who is a huge fan of Rayna (Connie Briton).

Finally, actor Murray Bartlett was added in "Nashville" season 5 to give life to Jakob Fine, a good-looking, "charismatic, and successful" men's fashion designer.

"Nashville" season 5 will premiere on CMT on Thursday, Jan. 5 with a two-hour episode. The show was canceled by ABC but the network, among the many that vied for it, was chosen to revive it.
