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.
