Detective Dwight Hendricks (Jason Lee) has sung his last Elvis song and solved his last case. TNT has cancelled Memphis Beat after two season on the air.
A TNT spokesperson said, “TNT has decided not to pick up a third season of Memphis Beat… The network thanks everyone involved in the production of Memphis Beat for their work on the series, including the great cast and crew. TNT wishes everyone the best.” The last episode aired on August 16th.
Beat was the last of the TNT dramas to have its fate decided. The cable channel renewed Leverage, Rizzoli & Isles, Falling Skies, and Franklin & Bash but cancelled Beat, HawthoRNe, and Men of a Certain Age. Men had the worst ratings of the three axed series while HawthoRNe and Beat were next in line.
Lee will next be seen on NBC’s Up All Night and Beat creators/spouses Liz Garcia and Josh Harto recently sold a new drama to the peacock network called The Meadows.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Memphis Beat has been cancelled? What would you have liked to see happen in season three?

Oh NO! Please don’t cancel this show. I have been waiting for the summer shows to watch and this is one that I really look forward to see. I didn’t care too much to My Name is Earl but I love Memphis Beat.
I really hate to hear that Memphis Beat was cancelled. It was a great show And I loved Jason Lees character. he was awsome. I wish they would reconsider and bring it back . I was really looking forward to watching it in June and now I have just learned it has been cancelled, what a bummer….
Memphis Beat was another show that had great charecter chemistry, hopefully another smarted network will pick it up.
Bad move in cancelling Memphis Beat. I looked forward to seeing it the summer great show. get rid of those reality shows why bother in showing them it is so stupid
I’m not surprised it was cancelled. Writing was far too intelligent for most American dumbells.
This was a big mistake to cancel Memphis Beat! Loved the show, loved Jason Lee and loved the Elvis music!!! This leaves me nothing to watch on TNT. You guys blew it!!!
I am very dissapointed to here of the cancelling of Memphis Beat. How can we get it back?

I am so disappointed to hear this show has been cancelled – I can’t believe Franklin & Bash was kept and Memphis Beat was cancelled. I think you have made a terrible mistake.
Memphis Beat was my favorite show. I couldnt wait for the next week’s episode. I kept waiting to see when the new season would start. Now is when I learned it was canceled. Lee was great, especially his rendition of Elvis. Why was it canceled? There are worse shows that werent. TNT-how could u do this?
Please, please, please renew Memphis Beat!
Please reconsider the cancellation, I absolutely loved it and looked forward each week to watching this wonderful show! I’ve been looking to see when the new episodes began, soo Dissatisfied, Disappointed,etc.
I loved this show and think it should come back. If not maybe USA will pick it up they seem to have all the great shows.
I loved this show. Had the whole family hooked on it. Should you cancel? NO
Bring back Memphis Beat! Love the show and really miss it.
So very sorry for this show to go. Absolutely loved it. Now I have another reason to NOT watch TV!!!!!
I think it stinks that both beat and Hawthorne were canceled I loves both
SO SAD!! My whole family and some friends were waiting for Memphis Beat to start the new season. I got on the computer to check it out and now I’m sick at heart and very disappointed in TNT. You should bring this good show back.
So sorry to see such a good show go. I loved the wholesomeness of this show and the characters all made me want to live in Memphis.
Too bad because there’s not another show on TNT that I will watch.
