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.

Wonderful show set back in the 50s. Great music, civil rights, history and stories to tell! Please make sure this is renewed.. It has just gotten started telling the story!
Thursday! Thursday! I was so glad when it came. My show, the one that made me feel upbeat, Sun Records,was on. Nine O’clock came I turned on my TV, I couldn’t believe it was not on. What happened? They can not do this to us! There must be a Season 2, they can’t leave us hanging. This is the best show on TV right now. They need to advertise more to baby boomers, this is about their time period. DO NOT CANCEL this show! The actors make it seem so real. Thanks for making this series, I truly love this… Read more »
