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.
This show reminds me of the amazing summer I had last year in Tennessee!! Would live a season2!!! Seeing Chad Michael Murray in another tv show is also a massive bonus!!!!
We love Sun Records at our house. Try to tell everyone we know to watch. Me and my bf grew up listening to Johnny, Elvis, and Jerry. I was so upset over the season finale. I would hate it if there is not another season. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE SUN RECORDS. Please show more.
Great show. I have not marked a show on my calendar that I must see since the Sopranos ended! Renew please. Best show on TV!

We is my previous comment? Yes, I love this show. Keep it on.
Several of my friends got together each Thursday night to watch the show, but were disappointed with the ending along with some of the events shown were not correctly as happened in real life. We still will watch if it continues for another season.
I love it. My husband and I just watched all 8 shows the last 3 days. I hope it get renewed. I was born in 1970 so this music was before me but just love it. I remember my mom listening to it.
I feel it is the best showof the year, and have said so many times. Comcast has charged me an extra $5 each month to view it, and it was worth it. Please keep it going.
Great show bring it back
Yes bring it back is a great show

Please please please renew this show!!!!! I was so disappointed and sad when it didn’t come on this week. I did not know last week was the end of season one. Please renew this show.
