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.

My favorite show on tv you can take off Nashville and put on Sou Records
I was first impressed that this was a CMT show, because I didn’t know they made shows of this caliber. Ratings are ratings, but wish CMT would take a gamble on a season 2 like ole Sam Phillips did for everyone in the show.
I’m so upset over this.i looked forward to every Thursday night.please make at least some kind of ending in this another season.i loved this show.
Waiting to see season two of sun records great show looked forward to it each week. Hope to see it back on soon.
Please Do Not cancel Sun Records. I looked forward to watching this real life drama play out. It was very entertaining.
Disappointed to see another quality series cancelled, possibly to make room for some mindless same-old tv fare.
Would have loved to see more of Jerry Lee, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash… please renew!!
I loved watching Sun Records. I recorded it every week to make sure I didn’t miss an episode. Please reconsider your decision and Do Not cancel this wonderful tv show!
Very disappointed there won’t be a second season of Sun Records! It’s hard to find good nighttime tv as it is. This was like watching history being made as well as the colorful musicians that made it happen…………….
Very, very disappointed that Sun Records didn’t get a second season. It was like following history through the change of music as well as the colorful musicians that made it happen. Plus it is hard to find descent nighttime tv.
I loved this show. I am so hoping that you will decide to bring the show back for season 2.
