Sun Records Season 2 un-cancelled? The short-lived CMT music drama may have a pulse, with producers shopping the series to Amazon and The CW network, according to Memphis Flyer:
Linn Sitler, commissioner of the Memphis Film and Television Commission, told Memphis City Council members Tuesday that Kevin Kane, president of the Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau, paid the rent on the show’s soundstage here for one month to allow producers to pitch the show to the other networks.
CMT already paid for scripts and outlines for season two of the show, Sitler said. So, they are “ready to go” for a second season. She said she has her “fingers crossed” for the meetings with the other networks, though she said “it may be a long shot.”
About $9 million is already set aside in the state budget for season two and season three of “Sun Records.” However, if the show is not renewed, that money all goes back to Nashville in a pot set aside for other film and television projects across the state.
“We do have other projects, one of them is rather big” Sitler said, without divulging details. “If it happens, we’ll jump to take advantage of that (state) money.”

Kelly Carnahan says
Sun Records was a really good show and I don’t understand why CMT pulled the plug. CMT Hot 20 was constantly interviewing the shows stars which made me think they were completely behind the show. If they pulled the show to throw more money at the show Nashville, even tho I watch Nashville I think they should have continued with Sun Records because quite frankly Nashville has gotten quite tired and trite. Just sayin…

Sun Records was unique providing background & music of the 50’s which is when my husband & I grew up. We loved watching it & seeing Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash etc. in their beginnings.
We were disappointed to hear the show had been cancelled and hope it can be revived!
Gene Vallee says

Sun Records was the talk of the town even the school kids enjoyed it. What was the reason for cancelling the show? The TV viewers what season 2 . Get your people together and give us Sun Records!

CMT — keep on showing your old re-runs and prove to the world that you’re just NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME !! What a stupid decision to drop “Sun Records”
