Season One Ratings

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 am hoping for a season 2. My husband and I love this show, being teenagers in the sixties, it brings back so many memories. Love the setting, the actors and the music.
Renew for sure. It’s the only show that keeps my wife’s attention. We love the show.
Please don’t cancel this show. Well written drama. I watch every episode.
My 16 year old son and myself faithfully watch Sun Records every week together. It is the best show on television. Please renew it for a second season!!
This is the greatest show on tv. Love the perfect period setting, music, and the casting is nearly perfect. PLEASE RENEW.
This should be renewed you looking at the wrong demographics most 49 year old don’t know who sam Phillips was
Love this show. Dont cancel it!!!!
I really enjoyed the show, loved Chad as Sam Phillips and the telling of the million dollar quartet and sun records. Please don’t cancel it!!!
I “LOVED” the TV series Sun Records! It was so nostalgic to look back and remember those days. I’ve saved every show.
Pleeeeaaase do a second season and more, if possible. Looking forward to it!
I am a huge Elvis historian and fan so I tuned in to see how his story would be portrayed. I was very pleased with the actor who portrayed Elvis, one of the best ever performances of someone I feel cannot truly be portrayed! The facts of his story in this TV show were not accurate and with that, I was very disappointed! It would have been so easy to get it right! Now that the Elvis part of the story is over, I really am uninterested in the other stories that will make up other series.

PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEE.. Don’t cancel Sun Records.. I love it.!!!!
LOVE THE SHOW. Great actors & actresses portraying the various real life legends. GREAT CASTING!! From Sam Phillips to Elvis to Colonel Tom Parker, Johnny Cash & Jerry Lee Lewis. The relatively unknown young actors are FANTASTIC & Don’t change a thing! PLEASE KEEP THE SHOW!! Don’t have DVR but sure do a lot of Set Reminders plus On Demand. Have a Season 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 etc.
Renew it! It is great. Love the actors’ takes on each of their characters! Can’t wait to see more of it.
