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?
we loved the show and hope they pick it back up for more seasons. This is music history entertainment and good stuff.
Come On, Now! This is GOOD, wholesome TV! It’s history! You have got to bring Sun Records back!
Omgosh……PLEASE renew!!!!! I LOVED it!!!!!!!
Should have been renewed
Watched every episode of Sun Records and would like to see it continue for additional seasons. Bring it back for more shows. Great stories and acting. Need more of :Sun Records!
Can’t believe you cancelled this show. My husband and I watched it every week. It was a breath of fresh air compared to TV shows like zombie shows, reality shows like Real Wives of too many cities to name, and other reality shows such as survivor, Ninja warrior, etc. I have always felt reality shows had come into existence because networks were too lazy or cheap to hire good writers to create quality story lines. Most reality shows are just modern day soap operas. Please do not cancel Sun Records.
I love this series and would love to see,it continue. The problem is hardly anyone I know even knows,it exists. Please advertise it more.
please bring it back for season 2 it is a great show
I think Sun Records should be renewed for a second season it is a great show reminds me of my younger days when Elvis was just getting going
One of the best show in a long time. We want season two!
Please renew Sun Records to Great shovel and should not be cancelled it shows a great period in the beginning of rock and roll
Please renew the music show, it is a Great show, I loved it.Great music.
Please please continue the sun records show for season two. I love the show. Better than that blood and guts carp, walking dead dumb she..! Put our music show back on.
please renew the sun records series it is very interesting to see how these stars got their start to fame
We need more shows like Sun Records far removed from the same diatribe of writers selling scripts to the many police shows. This is a part of musical history and the actors are the best! CMT would be wise to renew Sun Records but most of all as someone with 40 years in the industry here, PROMOTE IT!! No one knew it was on!!
