Will the music play on for Sun Records? The CMT TV show recently finished its first season, but what about a second? If renewed, would you keep watching the series?
Based on real events, the music drama follows record producer Sam Phillips (Chad Michael Murray) as he shepherds young musicians Johnny Cash (Kevin Fonteyne), Elvis Presley (Drake Milligan), Carl Perkins (Dustin Ingram) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Christian Lees). The cast also includes Trevor Donovan, Keir O’Donnell, Jennifer Holland, Margaret Anne Florence, and Kerry D. Holliday.
The chances of a renewal for Sun Records are uncertain. The show premiered to a decent rating (for a CMT show) of 0.20 in the 18-49 demo and 971,000 viewers. However, the ratings fell considerably over the course of the eight episodes.
Overall, season one averaged a rating of 0.13 in the 18-49 demo and 585,000 viewers. That’s a considerable drop for a new series on a network that is new to scripted programming. Will CMT risk another season? For now, we’ll have to wait and see.
What do you think? Have you seen Sun Records? Do you think the show should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Would you watch?
5/5 update: CMT has decided there won’t be a second season of Sun Records. Details here.

Facts are a little off but it is a T.V. drama that has to fit in one hour episodes and be interesting. Great show bring it back for season 2.
Yes I would watch another season.
Love the show, please bring back for a 2nd season! Th
Yes, my sister and I, and others that we know, LOVE this series. It’s very well made, the actors portraying Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc., are extraordinary. Everything about the series seems authentic and the 1950s is brought back to life as I remembered (although somewhat vaguely because I was very young). Please, find a way of promoting and advertising this series. It needs an audience! And yes–give us a Season 2 and more!
yes! love the show!!!
Yes, more episodes.
