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?
What a shame this series was cancelled. Maybe Netflix can pick it up however it’s content and story line was too good to be true. Interesting different and a break from reality TV. Jennifer Beal was believable in her part.
I am very disappointed to find out Proof is cancelled for a 2nd season. It was just gaining committed fans!
I loved this series…mayb cause we r all so fascinated with the content of the show r could b jennifer b….cancel violent shows…I .don’t watch them..but I guess it is too late…too bad for TNT mnot giving it a fair shot r more publicity…do something to bring it to the attention of the publuc…why do u think physics r so popular…we r fascinated by this subject…please don’t cancel r mayb AMC will pick it up instead of all the zombie shows that only kids watch…
LOVE THE SHOW VERY SURPRISED IT WAS CANCILED. Hopefully someone else will pick it up.
I became very surprised too. :O
This was the best of all shows presenting past life situations because it was basically realistic about its findings and still left a curious wanting for more without getting too way out in a science fiction realm. Love it. Bring it back.
My fiancé and I loved this show! It had a great story line, and great characters. Please don’t cancel this show. We have been waiting and watch for season 2. Please give it a shot. It’s too good of a show to cancel.
I just came across the information that proof was canceled…You’ve got to be kidding! One of the more thought provoking, emotional Rollercoaster, intelligent shows to come along and they cancel it? Probably some heathen non believer got nervous.
They made a big mistake cancelling this show just like A&E cancelling Longmeier, maybe it will get picked up by someone…. We can only hope
Longmeier got cancelled too! You’ve got to be kidding me! Proof and Longmeier are two of the best shows on TV. Makes NO sense.
This is one of the BEST, most thought-provoking series on television… PLEASE renew “Proof” for a second season… and a third season, a fourth season and so on!!!!!
I love the show!!!!!!
Noooo. I love the show. So tired of good shows getting cancelled and you keep stupid reality shows on
I so agree!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the series. I thought it was very interesting. Thought prevoking. Why did you cancel it. Was one of the shows I watch every week. Please bring it back.
I can’t believe this show was cancelled! I loved it and was looking forward to another season
Please keep really enjoyed the show, after just recently loosing a loved one this show really hit home. Caught my attention, was so looking forward to the re- start. Disappointed that it is not coming back.
please bring this one back. So rarely do i start watching a series and get hooked from the pilot on….
