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 have been in show business since 1959 and this show is a part of my life. It would be a great lose to the young people it it was not renewed to show them how it all came together.
Please renew! I’m obsessed with this series! I love seeing how these amazing singers got a start, I’m a younger gal with an old soul! Please keep this show airing.
Please renew! Great Show!
Please, Please SAVE THIS SHOW!!! This is what TV should be. Good stories about fascinating people, GREAT MUSIC, its an AMAZING SHOW!
Renew!!! We love Sun Records, need season two.
SUN RECORDS has gotten better and better. I know it lost some viewers early on but the ones left are fanatics. PLEASE continue the story. The actors are great. Run a marathon of the first season, at least, before you decide.
Thanks for such a great show!! I’ve DVRed every show and play it for my friend when they come over! Please have more seasons!! This show can become a Monster!! The history of Rock N Roll!! Sun Records is the real deal!
I hope that they renew it I love every show every time I get a chance to watch it on demand since I don’t have the channel any more
I really enjoyed the show and think they could do a season 2 with Jerry Lee, Carl Perkins, bring in a young Roy Orbison, who didn’t stay around there long, but since those fellows were instrumental in Sun Records but not the huge stars Elivs became, it might not be a ratings winner.
Sun Records is my new favorite show..please renew. Great cast.
Absolutely Season Two!
There needs to be a season two!
Renew please…would hate to see it end now….want to see “the rest of the story”.
