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.

and some of the people that made it happen. I have watched every show and looking forward for season Two
What a great great series!! A very well done show. Enjoyed it and hope to see it continue. I can’t believe some of the junk that is on TV these days and a good show like Sun Records would not continue.
Please bring back sun records, my husband and I really enjoy this series

I just found out about Sun Records and I think it’s great please DON’T CANCEL season 2
My Husband and I love, love Sun Records ! We both look forward to Thursday nights every week. We were so disappointed when it wasn’t on tonight. It is our favorite show. We lived during that era and it took us back to our youth. Loved the music and learning about the history of our favorite entertainers back in the day. The actors look so much like the real Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee etc and sound so much like them. They are doing a great job and we want more Sun Records !!
Sun Records depicts the story line of what really happened with Elvis. Drake Milligan portrays Elvis perfectly! This show is a part of History which needs to told!
Please, please renew this series.
Please renew! There is so much more history yet to be covered. Might I add, a fantastic job was done in casting!
Do not cancel this show!! Love it
We will be SO disappointed if Sun Records gets cancelled! We love this show and look so forward to watching it every week!!! PLEASE renew it for a second season!!!!
