3 best shows with Hayden Panettiere and where to stream them
From iconic superhero series to music-driven dramas, actress-singer Hayden Panettiere leaves behind decades of memorable screen work. Here are three to watch.
Three television series starring Hayden Panettiere are worth watching in honor of her passing. The first is "Heroes," an NBC superhero drama that ran for four seasons from 2006 to 2010. Panettiere played Claire Bennet, a cheerleader with the ability to heal from any injury instantly. Although later seasons struggled to match the quality of the first, Panettiere's performance remained consistently strong, bringing relatability to an increasingly complex sci-fi premise. "Heroes" is currently streaming on Netflix.
The second series is "Ally McBeal," a legal dramedy from the early 2000s. Panettiere joined the cast in the show's final season as Maddie Harrington, the daughter of title character Ally McBeal. Despite being much younger than her peers, Panettiere delivered a subtle and vulnerable performance that held her own against older actresses such as Julianne Nicholson and Regina Hall. "Ally McBeal" can be streamed on Hulu.
Lastly, Panettiere starred in "Nashville," an ABC musical drama that aired from 2012 to 2016 (and continued on CMT for two more seasons). She played Juliette Barnes, a rising singer whose talent puts her in competition with veteran country-music star Rayna James. "Nashville" was praised for Panettiere's performance as Juliette, with critics noting her ability to convey a wide range of emotions. "Nashville" is available to stream on Netflix.
