TNT is reportedly close to a sealing a deal to renew Memphis Beat for a second season. The cable channel previously gave a renewal to fellow freshman drama Rizzoli and Isles.
Memphis Beat follows a detective (Jason Lee) in Memphis who happens to moonlight as an Elvis impersonator. The cast includes Abraham Benrubi, Alfre Woodard, Celia Weston, DJ Qualls, Leonard Earl Howze, Robyn Lively, and Sam Hennings.
The series debuted on June 22nd to a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.33 million viewers. The numbers came down a bit after that and the 10 episode first season has averaged a 0.8 in the demo and about 3.6 million viewers. The season concluded on August 24th.
What do you think? Does Memphis Beat deserve a second season? Is it worth watching?

I really, really liked Memphis Beat. So entertaining and uplifting. I hope, hope it comes back for many seasons. I don’t think it was properly advertised or something. I don’t understand the viewers that did not return. I didn’t know about it until the fifth showing so I missed the first few. I hope there are reruns. I saved all the ones that I TIVOd and have watched them more than twice.
I hope it is renewed…I love the characters, I love the music and the story line is very good too as far as “who done it”…always a neat twist at the end…Jason Lee is great but so are all of the actors! Big Thumbs up to this program!
Really enjoyed episodes, hope TNT picks for another season.
I am really hope it comes back for a 2nd season. Jason Lee is the BEST!

Absolutely! This is a great series, true to life and funny. Love it.
I’m having Memphis Beat withdrawals. Please return soon.
Love this show! Keep waiting for it to start again, please!
Memphis show is and was fantastic, just like “Closer”, White Collar and Rizzoli and Isles. PLEASE do NOT cancel Memphis, of all of the above, actually the best one. Sorry that Closer is ending, or did it already? I guess Kyra Sedgewick wants to move on which is ashame, the show finally made her famous after all these years!!!!!
YES – it’s a really good show.
Love this show. What a great mix of characters. I hope it comes back ASAP!
