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.

Great show. Needs more attention. I had to tell my friends about it. Must renew.

I love this show! I’m in the 18-49 demo (not that I think it should matter) and I can’t get enough! Need to renew for sure:)
Renew! Love Sun Records!
It would be a shame for not renewing this series. The people you are targeting would learn the history of music that changed so many lives over the years. So yes keep the show
Why are you surveying the 18-49 crowd ? Take a look at the 50-70 bunch. That should be your target. Hmmm, this is the era of beginning of Rock and Roll. The 50-70 people will love this program, I certainly do. Advertise to them! Yes, second season and more.
I hope you will renew this show. I thought something was wrong when it was not on Thursday, 4/20. However, I just looked at the T.V. guide & see that it’s not on this coming Thurs. the 27th. I didn’t know the season was ending. PLEASE renew. This is the BEST show I’ve watched all season. I can’t believe that it would end after all the time I spent watching since Feb. 23rd. We 78 year old’s LOVE it, seriously. And, we know better than 18 – 49 yrs. old. After all, we LIVED this period in time. Hope these… Read more »
Please renew. Im so looking forward to next episode.
