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.

What do you think? Should Sun Records be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you follow this drama series to The CW or Amazon?
Please don’t cancel this show. It’s wonderful!! We love it!!
Sun Records is a great series about the start of the recording careers of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc. Please keep it on the air! I agree MORE Advertising would help. People don’t know what they are missing. I hope that they have SEASON 2 New Episodes to follow NASHVILLE’s lead in.
I thank sun records is a wonderful show and a refreshing change from stupid reality shows . Please renew sun records for season2
If there was more advertising, more people would watch! They just don’t know what they’re missing!
No I don’t think it needs to be canceled I think we should have a season to not only is it entertaining much but is also educational about where rocking all started please do not cancel it is a very good show
My husband and I have watched every episode and loved it! Being from theMississippi Delta and about 90 miles from Memphis, this series hits home! We have really enjoyed learning about some of the historical details we weren’t aware of! Please renew it! I would hate to have watched it until now and have it end When it was just really getting started, in my opinion! Thanks in advance!
Please do not cancel this show! It is awesome! My husband and I won’t miss it. We are so disapppointed that it is not on tonight, it really needs to be brought back please!!
I love the show and was looking forward to watching more episodes. I hope there is a season 2. Are you going to add Jerry and Jimmy ‘ s cousin Mickey to characters?
