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.

I have enjoyed every episode! I love the soundtrack.. Booker T and the MG’s.. Joe Tex.. OMG where can we hear that great stuff except here?
Thanks for the authenticity and the silliness. both make the show a joy to watch.
OF COURSE there should be a second season. A detective show that occasionally makes me laugh out loud, and has great music to boot . . . whoever put together this concept should get a raise!
I just truly adored this show, i live in the Netherlands and watcht every one of the ten episodes. I just love the ‘Hill street blues’ feel is has to it. Love the ongoing elvis connections. I hope season two will be longer than the first. And many more to come. Cheers 2 Memphis Beat. It truly gets in your blood.
My husband & I LOVE this show! Please renew! We love the characters, the music is awesome!

Good Show, talented cast, storyline is good, end of show music makes it different from other police shows. Looking forward to a second season.

Memphis Beat is a cop show for grown ups who have evolved passed the predictable Miami and LA bikini shots! The characters are intresting and unpredictable , people you would like to get to know better. this show is a gem in a sea of “me too” cop shows.
Fabulous show. My favorite. Original, interesting, well acted, and great music. Keep it, please.
