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.

Brink back TV Series Sun Records.. I love the show !!!
Bring beck Sun Records show it was interesting to watch,me and my wife realr enjoyed the progam.
I enjoyed the show and feel it should have been advertised better to include channels other than CMT. Many simply were not aware and I love the show! I was born in 1970 and really enjoyed learning about this era. I think a second season should have been given. Now I’m left wondering what happened next! I’m tired of networks cancelling quality shows without the viewing audience voice. One can not simply measure numbers when you didn’t adequately advertise!
Please have another station pick Sun records up. I absolutely love that show. Evidently CMT did not know how to promote the show. It was a great show and all my friends watched it also.
Sun Records is one of the best shows on tv. It absolutely should be renewed for season 2. Why is it that alot of the good, nostalgic tv shows such as American Dreams, get cancelled? The acting and capturing of the era are superb in Sun Records. It just needs to be advertised more. I think it is excellent and it has brought me much joy. Who doesn’t love Elvis and Johnny Cash?
Please bring Sun Records back. It’s a great show that my husband and I love!!
Please bring it back I love it
I really liked this show. I was learning about history. Very sad if it doesn’t come back.
I think I may cry. My family was excited for Sunrecords every week. Please… Will another network pick this up???
This was an excellent show and I’m very disappointed there won’t be a Season 2. Great scripts, music and actors! Please bring it back and promote it more on CMT!
CMT did not promote this series and then whine about ratings. I found the series by accident and watched on demand to catch up. It was a great series and you should bring back for season 2.
I’m disappointed that there isn’t going to ba a Season 2. They could go into depth about other singers lives affiliated with the record company. The show didn’t have to end with Elvis leaving the studio.
I was looking looking forward to Season 2, please renew, one of the best shows on TV!

I loved this show. So disappointed it’s not coming back please reconsider.
I wish it was not cancelled, I love the show SUN RECORDS it was the best thing on TV CMT should reconsider please bring the show back. I post pins on pinterest about the show and people where starting to watch.
Well I would have watched season 2. For one it is hard to watch. I know comcast dropped the CMT. Also the show was not promoted very well. I think it would have done really good if it was on a main stream company.
