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.

Sun Records is a show the WHOLE family watches! Our 20 + son and his girlfriend to me and my friends and work colleagues to my mother’s friends. It has history, great film making feeling of the times, AMAZING cast, and by far the BEST MUSIC that I haven’t seen on any current show outside of Nashville! ( which is present day) but SUN RECORDS is A WORLD AND TIME that I’ m learning about and do not want it to END! Please keep the stories going !
Well said Renew please
LOVE this! Got it all -including heart.
Let me also say – and I never say this – the young cast is very aware of the roles they are playing and pulling it off! All of them!
Are you kidding me?! How do you do THAT?
Mad props to this show. The kid who plays Elvis just nails that sweet humility.
This is also the only show I watch on CMT but will record others because of the ads…so that even works.
I want to see a tribute to ol Waylon!
Hell, we all should.
Season 2
Please renew the show. It’s my favorite show. Love it.
My husband and I love the show. It is terrific and look forward to each Thursday evening. Please give us season 2!
We must have a second season! Please don’t leave us hanging!
