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.

What do you think? Should Sun Records be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you follow this drama series to The CW or Amazon?
I’m so sad to see Sun Records may not come back! Was all worried I had missed the first shows of the new season only to find out it was cancelled!! This is American music history people. So much better than the “reality” crap that keeps coming back. It’s heartbreaking that people don’t appreciate talented artists bringing good stories to life. 🙁
I really liked the show and so did all of my friends. I hope another station picks it up. I Think
they messed up dropping the show
Would like for the Sun Record TV series to continue somewhere — the only series worth watching since “Breaking Bad”.
Please Please renew it. I loved this show.
Yes we would! Shop shop!
RENEW IT! RENEW IT! RENEW IT!!!!!!
Awesome show. Would definitely watch on the CW or Netflix!
Please bring back Sun Records. I have been waiting anxiously for the second season. It was a GREAT dhow. It was my favorite. Please don’t cancel it. I truly hope you do listen to us viewers.
Sun Records is an outstanding TV series!!! I can’t wait to see a 2nd season!! Please don’t let it be cancelled!! I loved learning about Elvis, Sam Phillips and all the other musicians from the 50’s and 60’s!! My entire family loves the show! Don’t let us down!!!
Loved the show. Brought back good memories. Now we will never know what happened to the characters. 🙂 This was the only reason I subscribed to CMT with my cable provider. May now cancel. Nashville turned into nothing but a run of the mill soap opera. Nothing else on CMT interests me. Bye….
Renew the show !!! Good Lord! Finally got a good one and you have to debate weather to renew it!!!!!
Thank you

Love the show. Bring back Sun Records. If not CMT then another outlet. Too much garbage on to cancel a show that actually entertains. We have shows like Housewives of every city, but Sun Records gets cancelled
Please bring sun records back! Great show.
Husband and I really enjoyed the show and don’t want it end. Do your best to continue the series. The same thing happened with Nashville and another network picked it up due the fan base. How about Netflix???…Let’s hope the same happens here !!
I love Sun Records! Please bring it back! I have been so excited to see what happens next in season 2 and then it’s cancelled 🙁 bring it back to CMT or how about Hulu or Amazon Prime. Please 🙂
