"Memphis Beat" has struck its last note.

TNT announced Friday that it had canceled the series after two seasons. "The network thanks everyone involved in the production of‬ 'Memphis Beat' for their work on the series, including the great cast and crew," it said in a statement. "TNT wishes everyone the best."

The series starred Jason Lee as Dwight Hendricks, a Memphis police detective and music enthusiast whose laid-back demeanor rankles his boss, straitlaced Lt. Tanya Rice (played by Alfre Woodard.)  George Clooney served as one of the series' executive producers.

"Memphis Beat" is the latest in a string of cancellations for TNT, which in recent months has axed "Men of a Certain Age" and "Hawthorne."
