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?

I’m a little late to the party. But I love the show. I wish they had continued it. And TNT it picked it up. Great show great characters great music good stories.
Memphis Beat and Jason Lee are both favorites. I was really disappointed when they were canceled. Would love to see them back. Barring that, how about reruns?
I really liked Memphis Beat with Jason Lee. He did very good imitations of Elvis songs, he should have cut an album.
Memphis Beat wss a very good show. I enjoyed a lot because there no sex, very little foul language, minimal violence. Becsuse I see a lot of that on many stations including TNT. I really don’t care to have all of that in a show.
The cast of Lee, Qualls and the rest were great. The plots and story lineofthe show was also very good. Would love to see this show brought back the way it was.
I miss this show it is really sad that it’s all based on some idiot numbers and not entertainment value …
I loved Memphis beat. It was a great show. All the people on the show were great as well. My husband also liked it. It was a good family show with no cussing and very entertaining.
This was a great show. Bad decision to cancel. Love Jason Lee, love the music and setting. Even my husband liked this show and that’s saying something!
Loved Memphis Beat, why don’t the viewers get a say? Rizzoli and Illes._sp__, don’t even think about It!!
I was so disappointed that Memphis Beat was cancelled. The story lines were great and the cast complimented each other. I loved this show. What were they thinking when they cancelled it. Very bad move.
You morons that was a great show, had everything interesting in it, singing, drama, and suspense, great actors and actresses
