There have been many music-related TV drama series throughout the years. Some have done well but many others have been cancelled. How will CMT’s new Sun Records TV show perform in the ratings? Will it be renewed for a second season or, will it be dropped instead? Stay tuned.
Airing on the CMT cable channel, Sun Records stars Chad Michael Murray, Billy Gardell, Drake Milligan, Kevin Fonteyne, Christian Lees, Jonah Lees, Trevor Donovan, Keir O’Donnell, Jennifer Holland, Margaret Anne Florence, and Kerry D. Holliday. In the show, Sam Phillips (Murray) shepherds young musicians Johnny Cash (Fonteyne), Elvis Presley (Milligan), Carl Perkins (Dustin Ingram) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Christian Lees). These up-and-coming white musicians combine hillbilly country music, with the ’50s R&B sound of African American artists like Ike Turner (Holliday), B.B. King (Castro Coleman), Muddy Waters, and Fats Domino.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/5 Update: While not cancelled, CMT has confirmed there will be no season two of Sun Records. Details here.

Why, why, why…Best show I’ve ever watched!!!!
Love Sun Records , it gives some historical insight of the beginning of Rock n Roll. Without shows like this & movies like Cadillac Records, the younger generation has no sense to the roots of their music.
Love both of these shows & movie. We need more Sun Records.
I am sad that every time a great show comes out it gets canceled
I am very disappointed sun records has not been renewed it was one of the best shows I have seen in awhile
We love this show. We would like to know why ratings are always geared to those under 50? Most young people use Netflix or so.ethong similar.
I am so sad you decided to cancel Season 2 There are so many of us fans whom loved the series. Please, Please, bring back
I am so upset and sad you decided to cancel Season 2. I loved the series!! There must be a mistake, there are too many of us fans! Please, please bring it back. You can’t just leave us hanging.
Please do a season 2 !!!!!!!!! So much more was beginning to happen!!!!!!!
BEST SHOW ON TV….I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ON AGAIN!! WHY???????
We loved the show!! As well as our other family members that do not have internet!
Please bring back Sun Records! I found it to be better than Nashville.
Why is it when you have a good show that it gets cancelled or moved around??? I really hope they find a place for season 2. 🙁
This is Music history… I was younger than but it had a great impact on my life growing up. Please please please … make it happen again???????
It was so full of inaccuracies it was not worth watching. Elvis was a blond when he was young and did not have a motorcycle til he started making money. Marion Keisker was not as portrayed…I knew her personally.
I quit watching when it got ridiculous.
Don’t bother bringing it back.
We enjoyed watching SUN RECORDS! It should have been renewed.
