Season One Ratings
The first season of Sun Records averaged a 0.13 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 585,000 viewers. Find out how Sun Records stacks up against other CMT TV shows.
On May 3, 2017, CMT announced there would be no second season of Sun Records. On June 5, we reported the producers are shopping season two to other outlets. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Sun Records got off to a mediocre start and the ratings dropped quite a bit after that. CMT has very few scripted series and this one attracted about half as many viewers as the first half of season five of Nashville. Sun Records could easily be cancelled.
5/5 Update: CMT has confirmed there will be no season two of Sun Records. Details here.
6/5 Update: The producers are shopping Sun Records, season two, to other outlets. Details here.

Do not cancellllllllllllllll. one of the better shows of all the networks.
Has to renew. Great show, covers a lot of history in an interesting way.
Please renew sun records series
I saw Million Dollar Quartet this past weekend and after doing so I heard about this series and had to check it out. I bought the season on Amazon video and watched it all in a few days. It started slow but by the end of the season I found myself really invested in the characters and I want more. I do hope it returns for a second season at least to get to a better ending point if not further in to the history.
Love Sun Records, please continue for second, third forth….seasons. There is so much history there that most of us are not aware of. Please keep it going for as long as possible!! I’ve recorded it so I can watch it over again. I’m going to show it to my daughter when she comes out for a weekend. She’ll love it too, I know it.
We enjoy watching this series, it brings back great memories of the era and music
Please Renew!
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL SUN RECORDS!!!! I watched every show! My whole family did. We can’t WAIT to see what’s next!!! PLEASE BRING SEASON TWO BACK! KEEP IT GOING! It’s so interesting! The music, the history, the actors are GREAT!!! Bring back sun records!!!
