Jason Lee is coming back for a second season of Elvis songs and Memphis Beat. The series is returning on Tuesday, June 14th with a new round of 10 episodes.
The TNT drama, starring Lee, Alfre Woodard, and DJ Qualls, debuted last June to a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.33 million. The ratings dropped after that but the first season ended up averaging a 0.8 rating in the demo and 3.86 million viewers.
Season one concluded on August 24th and it was renewed for a second season in early September.
What do you think? Are you glad Memphis Beat is coming back? Will you be tuning in?

So glad to hear M B is returning for a second season. The cast truly portrays a family and it’s daily dilemmas that can occur. Can’t wait to “hear” Jason “sing”..
We love Memphis Beat. All the other reviews are spot on. Is ther anything Jason Lee can’t do? I think he does “Suspicious Minds” even better than the King! We have to support great writing and character development like this. Also we need Jason to do an album of Elvis covers.
My husband and I love Memphis Beat. The music is great, the cast is one of the best on TV, and the writing is different from anything else around. It paints Memphis like we remember it, old and funky. What a great show. Wish there were more than 10 this year.
Good news! The songs from last season still run through my head. Great cast, great stories.
Great show,plain and simple and relates to real life,not some digital drummed up BS.Creative as well.The part where the cop sings at the end.I have been in Radio 23 years and there have been lots of cops that take on part time weekend radio gigs to relieve the stress they deal with.Please make a box set of this show.
This is one of my favorite shows. Jason Lee is awesome and the music is great.
Delightful show – great music – glad it it coming back. Bless TNT!
I am very happy the show is returning I also Love Jason Lee
So happy it’s returning … LOVE show and LOVE Jason Lee.
Yes, bring it back. It needs more than 10 episodes and it need a long term renewal commitment. My wife and I love the show, the characters and the music.
Loved Memphis Beat. Loved the music and the cast. Story lines were good and also the scenery.
My husband and I are very glad Memphis Beat is coming back for Season 2. Very good show, with great talent. Like the story lines and the music.
