Returning to TNT for its second season on June 14, 2011!
Memphis Beat centers on Dwight Hendricks, a quirky Memphis police detective with
an intimate connection to the city, a passion for blues music and a
close relationship with his mother.
Dwight is "the keeper of Memphis," a Southern gentleman who is protective of his fellow
citizens, reverential of the city's history and deeply rooted in its blues music scene.
Despite his impeccable instincts as a detective, Dwight's loose, relaxed style of police
work rubs his demanding new boss, Lt. Tanya Rice, the wrong way. But Dwight may eventually
win her over to a Memphis state of mind, especially when he takes the stage
at his favorite hangout to perform a legendary song or two.
Davey Sutton is a uniform cop who considers himself to be Dwight's protégé.
Paula Ann Hendricks (Junebug) is Dwight's effervescent mother.
Charlie White, aka Whitehead, is Dwight's seasoned, hypertensive partner.
Reginald Greenback is a fellow detective struggling to make ends meet with two teenage daughters.
Sgt. JC Lightfoot is an officer who uses Chickasaw tribal wisdom in his police work.
Created by Liz W. Garcia and Joshua Harto, who sees the show's setting as a chance to
spotlight one of America's great cities. "Memphis has been largely forgotten in film
and TV today," he says. "It's where the blues and Johnny Cash and Elvis came from.
It's where Martin Luther King was assassinated and where Isaac Hayes and Aretha Franklin
were born and raised. It's the perfect blend of drama and humor for our show."
Music is just as vital to Memphis Beat as its unique characters, drama and humor is the music.
"Music is a huge part of this show," Garcia says. "It has to be. You can't live in Memphis
and not have your life steeped in music. The city has a soundtrack." To get that perfect Memphis
feel, the production team approached noted blues singer/songwriter Keb' Mo'. He will provide
original compositions and performances for the show to supplement classic Memphis tracks.
