Tonight marks the season finale of the Proof TV show on TNT. Will this series that’s focused on death manage to stay alive and see a second season? Should this drama be cancelled instead?
On Proof, Doctor Carolyn “Cat” Tyler (Jennifer Beals) recently lost her son, saw her marriage end, and become estranged to her teenage daughter. Cat is persuaded by cancer-stricken billionaire Ivan Turing (Matthew Modine) to search for evidence that death is not the end and this takes her on a deeply personal and emotional journey. The rest of the cast includes David Sutcliffe, Joe Morton, Edi Gathegi, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Callum Blue, and Annie Thurman.
The series debuted on June 16th with a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.66 million viewers. It was a pretty mediocre start for a TNT series. The ratings dwindled downward over the course of the season though they saw a nice bump upward last week.
The season is currently averaging a 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.12 million viewers. It’s one of TNT’s lowest-rated scripted series in the demo and is in the middle of the pack in viewership.
With ratings like these, the cable channel could go either way. It could easily be canceled or renewed. If the finale does particularly well, those ratings coupled with last week’s numbers might be enough to tip the scale towards a renewal. For now, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Proof TV show on TNT? If you ran the cable channel, would you cancel or renew it for a second season?
Please consider bringing Proof back, and give it time to pick up a fan base. My son and I love the concept, and have gotten others into it.
Please, please do not cancel this series!!! Love it and it gives us a reason to believe!
Love this show…please do renew but with the same cast. This cast is brilliant and so believable. Hope we see this renewed soon!
Love the show!
Renew the tv show Proof. I liked the subject and the ensemble of avtors are strong and talented.
I feel very strongly that my late father gave me an invention while I was just sitting in my chair. When alive he was a very inventive person when alive and I like to think I got some of that. However, he was a very diverse musician and when i came home for work and very tired, this notion of a photo electric musical instrument pickup for stringed instruments, flashed in my mind. I jumped up and headed to my electronic lab and in five minutes, I had a working model. It was at least 40 years ahead of its… Read more »
We really like the show, hoping it comes back.
Pls do not cancel the show .
I Believe the show Proof was already canceled. Yes it is a shame and so many people are upset. I Truly believe that Season 2 would have much higher ratings as I have noticed that a lot of people that I talked to about the show never heard of it. So poor advertising on their end was the problem because everyone who watched Season 1 feel in love with the show and the characters. Wish we could get them “whoever they are” to reconsider. Maybe we can start a petition???
The show is very good, go for season 2._would be ashamed to cancel .
Love the show, it gets better and better each episode. Don’t cancel.
I absolutely thought that it was incredible. PLEASE!!!!!!!
SEASON 2
Proof was new and very different. I hope it will return for another season.
I just saw all the episodes back to back and I love it….please continue with the next Season. Excellent drama and excellent actors.
This is a fantastic show with such potential. Season 2, PLEASE!!!!
