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.

The show seems to have received very little advanced publicity. During the season I saw no promotions for the show on other networks. Maybe a little illumination would have improved the ratings. Apparently there are many viewers who were around in the 60s who are not watching “Sun Records” Perhaps if made aware of the storyline they too would tune in. I was not aware of the series until Mulligan’s interview and performance on Fox and Friends. Fortunately I caught the first episode and have been glued since.
Love the show! Looking forward to a season 2!
Please renew Season Two!!! We love this show!!!

I love this show. I was born in the ’80’s but I grew up listening to Elvis Presley. I would be completely heartbroken if this show was cancelled. I plan my Thursday nights around watching Sun Records. Please keep it on the air.

I didn’t see it there, so I came here, begging. It really is a good show……..it just needed more advertisement to let… Read more »
