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.

Loved it, and the culture of the music, please bring Sun Records back!!
Please bring sun records back!!! We love it❤️
PLEASE bring it back!!!! Too many stupid reality tv shows on!! Hell with housewifes we want sun records!!
Would have been better if they had told the actual story instead of so many “artistic liberties”.
Hope it gets renewed, really enjoyed the how
I would love to see this series continue! I felt like there was so much more to tell
I would love to see Sun Records continue with season two or at least complete the series by going direct to DVD. With the talanted cast members and interesting story left to tell it would be such a Shame to stop now. Give the series a chance and market it better. Season one was much more entertaining than all the so-called reality tv alternative.
This is a good show and let’s us learn the history of music and the younger crowd gets a chance to see too…if it weren’t for Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jonny Cash and others there wouldn’t be music so renew please
good show ,music history, sun records they need to bring back the show
The show was good. But lot’s of big errors. If they continue, they need to improve the facts!
Love Sun Records..all of my friends watch. please continue this show.
Renew sun records on CMT! Love this show!
I bet the CMT didn’t want to Re-New the Show because ELVIS, was basically kicked off the Grand Ole’ OPRY in Nashville… Maybe those guys have a personal reasons, that’s so stupid…I was sure looking forward to Season #2… I sure Hope some NETWORK picks it UP… T
Me and my husband loved Sun Records. We was really looking forward to season 2. I think if a local channel like the CW picked it up it would have a phenomenal rating. A lot of people can’t get the CMT, so please someone pick up this series, it was great. Perfect casting of every character. We loved it. Please don’t cancel it.
My wife and are seniors,we loved this show. let the kids have there vampires’ & zombies. Please give us this show.
I loved this show, I can’t wait to see what happens next with Johnny, Elvis and Jerry Lee that ties them all together.
