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.

I have seen worst shows go on and on.
Enjoyed the twists and often questioned the facts of the show. Disappointed it won’t go another season
Very disappointed that Sun Record will not return for Season 2. Really enjoyed the show. It’s hard to find a nighttime series that’s not a CSI!
I am very diappointed that Sun Records will not return for season 2. I really enjoyed watching the show. It’s hard to find a good night time series that’s not CSI or law related!
I was looking forward to a second season, I’m sorry it was cancelled
Please bring back Sun Records. It was like watching history in the making. Don’t leave us viewers hanging
Figures the only time I ever watched anything on CMT it gets cancelled. This show was fairly well done and amusing.
I guess the only thing that people care about is the usual soapy, reality garbage.
I hope they dont cancel sun records on of my favorite shows on cmt
sun records is a great show that was ended poorly. in a word cmt sucks. the other music related shows are just soap and not worth the time.
We loved this show!! So sad to hear it’s cancelled…the story needs to keep going
Loved the show and watched it faithfully. waiting for season 2. Please Renew!!!!
I love the show please continue the story don’t let people hanging…..Sun Records you are number one to me
It’s “My So Called Life” all over again. People just don’t appreciate quality.
I LOVED this show! I watched the whole season 3 times, I was going for # 4, only to see it was no longer available on demand. my obsession led me to research all the actors, they are all so well played, I’m literally mesmerized & glued to the screen. (Here’s an interesting fact; twin brothers play the roll of Jerry Lee Lewis (Christian Lees) & his cousin Jimmy (Jonah Lees)! This was a weekly date night for my husband & I.. Dang, I am so DISAPPOINTED!! I truly hope someone will give this show a chance to grow.
I loved the show Sun Records. This is a BIG disappointment!!!
I am so sad that CMT has decided to cancel Sun Records for Season 2. I’m not a fan of the CMT network but this program had me captivated. The casting couldn’t have been better and I was left craving the next weekly episode. I’m hopeful that perhaps another network might pick up the series for Season 2.
Everyone we know was watching this show. We are very disappointed it was not renewed.
Sun Records was the best realistic show that I accidentally ran across one night flipping through channels! If CMT would have promoted show earlier on! It would have been the next big thing! The writing of the show was so realistically written showing the trials and tribulations that everyone went through to make our history of the American music tribulation! It was the most realistic show I have watched that could keep you hungry to know what was going to happen next! Sam Phillips was a legend of legends that thought out of the box… But the music that he… Read more »
