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.

I would LOVE a second season of Sun Records. It’s an amazing series and a show that has a lot of stories still to tell. If the show is aired on Amazon or another channel/network I will be ready to watch!

Do not let the music history of this label and artists go bye the way side..
Please bring it back….
You are so right and I am a baby bommer. 61 yrs old, I was lucky and Saw ELVIS 4 Times in Las Vegas. He was so awsome, I couldn’t take my eyes off him…

I also subscribed to CMT just for this series. I hope someone else picks it up.
Please bring Sun Records back!
I subscribed to this network just to watch sun records. Please bring back.
Can’t believe Season 2 has been cancelled. CMT did a poor job of advertising this series. I never watch CMT and if it weren’t for the fact that a friend’s son had a part in the show I would never have known about it.

The show had a lot going for it, not only the great story and music, but it highlights the social transition in that era. If Amazon would buy the rights and show… Read more »
