Holliday. Sam Phillips (Murray), shepherds young musicians Johnny Cash (Fonteyne), Elvis Presley (Milligan), Carl Perkins (Dustin Ingram) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Christian Lees).

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?
So sad to hear this show was cancelled. Even my husband loved it!
What the Heck happened ?? Was waiting for A Second season, as the Story had NO ending, but just left Us Hanging.. Because the Rating wasn’t up to “There” par, didn’t mean people didn’t watch it, especially the Older Generation, who lived through this Era.. Younger Generation needs to see how it all started. BRING IT BACK, or at least Give us an Ending..
Why? We love this amazing story about the biggest singers ever. Maybe the series need more advertizing..I live in Sweden and I watched it over the net and feel very sad that we wont be able to se the rest. So much more stories of the lives of these artists than one season. Please let it be another season
huge fan, please renew, great story that needs to be told
Please get Sun Records back on the air! There is much more to the story and we love it! Huge fan!!!
Love the show. Hope it’s continues.
This show can’t be ended now, it is too good. This is a great show about the life of famous singers and it needs to be continued. It would have been great to see more advertisement around this show as many people would love to view with their families. Need to renew!
Love this show! My entire family would watch this show the second it aired each week! It needs to be renewed. We need to see what is going to happen next.
Noooooo. I’m a huge Elvis fan. Please let’s give season 2 a chance. I stumbled upon the show by mistake and then watched the full season on demand. Get rid of some of the reality shows that are garbage. What a huge mistake and disappointment . We want Elvis.
Sun Records was an awesome show! My husband and I are so very disappointed. We have been waiting for season 2. There is so much absolutely worthless television. This was refreshing and worth watching.
I cannot believe this is cancelled. I love this show and want to see more episodes. Not sure why the ratings were low….it was so good! What can we all do to get it renewed!!???
Agree. what the Hip Hop generation wants is The Same Beta, Same Garbage Same Lyrics the no one can understand, Foul Mouth, Kill a Cop M/F, Hoes stupid Crap !
correction to post “Same old Beat”
What the HELL PEOPLE!!!…. This a great show ..
I rarely watch TV and this show made me come home on Thursdays to watch it .
Finish the story up !!!
Why do networks nowadays cancel a series after only several episodes? Some of the most popular shows of all time took longer to really take off. Sun Records is a great show that my whole family loves to watch together. The actors are phenomenal and of course we love the music.
I think sun records need to be renewed and get rid of some of the reality television shows
This is a great historical TV series. Very disappointed that the series has been cancelled. We need more period drama shows on television rather than reality shows. Thank you for the too few eight episodes.
