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, my whole family watches this show. We love it and I am already having withdrawals. Please, please, please renew “Sun Records”.
Absolutely loved it! Please bring it back for season 2!!
As a native Memphian I’ve enjoyed watching the show but disappointed in the liberties taken with the storyline. However, I will watch Season 2.
The story needs to be completed. So far of the Million Dollar Quartet, Elvis is the only one to have recorded at Sun, Carl Perkins just met Sam Phillips.
Yes!
Yes bring on season 2. It started out a little slow but it turned out to be a favorite of mine.
Even though some (if not most) of the facts are not correct, I would watch it as it is entertaining and I love the music
The show has just scratched the surface of all these stories. It looks beautiful and the cast is amazing! PLEASE renew it and promote it! People need to know it is out there!
YEs if I can get cmt on Comcast
I would love to see another season!!!!
Yes
I love the history of Sun Records and Elvis, but Nope, i will definitely NOT be watching if there is a Season 2. There were too many ALTERNATIVE FACTS and some horrible acting in this Show that i struggled watching it to the end of the series. It was a waste of my time that i won’t waste again. The only good thing about this show was the beautiful woman who play Marion Keisker – Margaret Anne Florence.
Bring it back
Yes Bring it back!!!!
Bring back Season 2 and show it on Canadian CMT. . Could never figure out why it wasn’t available to C anadians?????
