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.
Yes we love to watch it and please bring season 2. Thanks.
Yes, I would watch season 2. Love the show. I always was and still am an Elvis, Jerry Lee and Johnny fan. Keep in on!!
We were shocked to hear that there might not be a second season. This is the best show on tv right now. I think the station may be making a mistake if they are focusing only on millennial viewers. They should advertise more in the older viewer category. My wife and I are baby boomers who remembers those years. We love every minute of i
Please, you cannot take it off the air. It is one of the few things us greasers and 50’s lovers have to call our own. Something that represents us. I know me saying this won’t affect anything, and I know this won’t get read by anyone important. If this does get read please know people do care about it we need this.
Enjoy Sun Records. My family of three 17-63 would continue to watch. Perfect actors, perfect director, perfect story line. I vote Yes!
Please bring it back!!!
Please renew for another season. Looked forward to it every week.
I really enjoyed watching the show the events are part of the music history and I feel it needs to be told . Please try another season
Please don’t cancel it! Worst Mistake ever. I love this show way too much. Please renew!
LIKE THE SHOW WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO STAY ON.
Waiting feverishly for the next episode!
Watched every episode and taped them as well. The only negative is there is way to many commercials seems like 10 minutes of the show and the rest commercials. Hope it comes back.
I absolutely LOVE this show and the cast is perfect. Please please keep it going
I love the show. My favorite actor is the one who plays Sam Phillips. Please bring it back for season two.
One of the best shows on TV. Will watch 2nd season. Stick to the facts and the show will be a constant hit!
Please have another season! That ended so abruptly. I loved the show! My wife was in the background on roller skates in one episode!
