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?

TNT, really, you cancelled one of the best shows out there. people looked forward to watching Memphis Beat..who or where did you get your ratings from. And how qualified were they to give you their ratings…you missed on this one
I wish they would bring back Memphis Beat, that is a very good show!!!
You should have cancelled franklin and Bash instead of memphis beat :((((
I loved Memphis Beat. I’m so disappointed that it was cancelled.
I absolutely loved memphis beat. TNT you have screwed up royally again.
I agree why are the garbage shows left and the great ones such as Memphis Beat cancelled? I didn’t miss an episode. The hour always zipped by leaving me in anticipation for the next episode. Every character was a plus to the show I loved every one of them, they were all fantastic. Come on TNT bring this one back.
Why are the networks so determined to only show garbage shows and cancel anything that people enjoy. I am now watching a lot less on TNT. They ought to put on more reality crap and then I can get rid of my provider subscription all together.
I agree with the other comments, Memphis Beat was a very good family show. I believe TNT is making a big mistake. They seem to cancel the good shows and leave the ones on that are not worth watching. Maybe they could change their mind.
I fell terrible, I can’t beleive that the show was cancelled, is really sad, fro me and many friends that I have here Memphis Beat was the best show on TV, great crew, funny and dinamic, was impossible take my yes off of TV, I fell very sorry. I hope that the show came back again. I’m from Brazil , I have been living in Memphis for over 4 years, Memphis Beat make to know better Memphis.
MEMPHIS BEAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RENEWED. IT WAS GREAT, WAY BETTER THAN FRANKLIN & BASH. YOU’RE GOING TO LOOSE A LOT OF VIEWERS ON TNT.
