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.
