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.
Great show! Please renew!
the wife and i really enjoyed the series and would like to see a second season.
I love the show but it seems to have way to many commercials.
Best show on tv can’t wait for Thursday nights haven’t been this excited about a show since the sapranos. Please keep it going.
please renew, give it a chance
Love this show. Please renew!
Definitely need Season 2 of Sun Records
Love the show!! Totally hooked. Need season 2!
You’re missing a huge demographic of the over 49 crowd. Your stats are only going up to 49. We’re all loving Sun Records and are looking forward to more seasons. Hopefully, you’ll remember the outcry from the public after the first, not so popular season of Dallas. It turned out to be one of the most successful TV shows of all time. Listen to the public, we know what we want.
Please renew this show. My husband and I love it and look forward to watching it every week.
This is a fantastic show! The Music is great & it’s nice to learn the history behind the scenes of the famous characters. It really is an incredible show! I hope they give it the chance it deserves!
Please add season 2. I have watched every episode. I have told my friends to Watch it.
Please bring it back
Rock on. Next season sooooon
I am hoping there is definitely a second season. I love this show. The only bad thing is I have to wait a day to catch it on ON-Demand on Comcast. It’s worth the weight. I can’t begin to tell you how many people I have hooked on this show. Before I knew I had a variety of people at my house to watch Sun Records. It’s so great to go back in time to see how rock n roll got it’s start. I’m thrilled to see my 17 year niece and her friends hooked this show.
Second season…..Oh, ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have become an Elvis fan. I throughly enjoyed every episode and want to see more. Please give us another season. How can we end the story here. There’s so much more. Elvis Presley played by Drake Milligan did an amazing job.
