TNT has picked up 10 more episodes of freshman crime drama, Memphis Beat.
The show, starring Jason Lee and Alfre Woodard, debuted in June and was Tuesday night's top-rated show in the 25-54 demo, according to TNT. It will return sometime in 2011. The series averaged 4.7 million watchers on a live+7-day basis, according to Nielsen data.

That makes five shows TNT has renewed this year, following pick-ups of The Closer, freshman star Rizzoli & Isles, Leverage and HawthoRNe.
