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.

Please for heaven’s sake.. Make and complete Season 2 of Sun Records! It’s such a real appearing accoun of what it must have been like. There’s nothing else out there ever made like this…. Don’t kill us us all, and let it go! PLEASE CONTINUE!
I love this show! I would think that ratings for any first season ,new show would be a little bit lower than one that has proved itself. Several of my friends did not even know the show existed and hopefully will be watching the first season this Summer. I feel sure they will bring it back in the fall, it is just too good not to!
Great show, acting and music – especially if you were a teenager during the years being recounted. Hope it continues for several more seasons…..
I really enjoyed the show, hope it gets picked up again!!!
My husband and I really like this show and hope it will continue with future seasons. The history of Sun Records and the stars who began their careers there is fascinating!
