TV show description:
A music business drama, the Sun Records TV show unfolds in Memphis, Tennessee, during the first turbulent years of the Civil Rights movement and the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.
Sam Phillips (Chad Michael Murray), shepherds young musicians Johnny Cash (Kevin Fonteyne), Elvis Presley (Drake Milligan), Carl Perkins (Dustin Ingram) and Jerry Lee Lewis (Christian Lees). These up-and-coming white musicians combine hillbilly country music, with the ’50s R&B sound of African American artists.
Drawing on the seminal works of Muddy Waters, B.B. King (Castro Coleman), Fats Domino, and Ike Turner (Kerry D. Holliday), these artists made musical history. The series documents them, as they rocket to fame. Meanwhile, the nation is swept up by political changes and protests.
Series Finale:

First aired: April 13, 2018
Colonel Tom Parker (Gardell) presses to take over Elvis’ career, but Sam struggles with the decision to let his star go. Jerry Lee’s philandering catches up with him, and Johnny Cash (Fonteyne) starts his own band. (Courtesy CMT.)
What do you think? Do you watch the Sun Records TV show? Should it be cancelled or renewed for another season on CMT?
No , we loved the show and we want to know what happens next !

great show should be continued
Please bring back sun records and Drake Milligan
This is a great show. Can’t wait to see the next chapters. Please, Please keep telling the story. Love the music and the history. Don’t cancel .
Enjoyed it immensely
this a great show that I look forward to watch when I come home from work in the morning. music is my biggest passion, and to see this show and the story line is gripping. I must agree about it being about american Rock and Roll, this covers it great, not since Cadillac records movie.
They must bring it back. This is a great show and tells the story of real American Rock N Roll. It’s a program that the entire family can watch. No there aren’t any thugs committing crimes with their pants hanging down. There’s no nudity or language issues to speak of. Maybe that’s the problem, if there was more foul language, thug crime and nudity, it would probably be on a long time.
