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?
I would really love to see this series continue!! Awesome show and cast!!
This is the best new show of the season. No i am notin the age group you want. I am in my 60’s. The story line and cast are exceptional. I would lovea second season
I love Proof! Please bring it back for Season 2!!!!
We were ready to cancel our TV altogether. This show gave us hope, Here’s something with deep questions to personally search. We love it – please renew!
Well written and thought provoking- looking forward to renewal
My husband and I both loved this show and would be disappointed if it were canceled.
I really enjoy this show and I really hope it gets renewed for season 2. The writing and acting is incredible. And I adore Joe Morton. I have since I watched him in Eureka.
Please renew – an intelligent keeper!
Keep it.
Rarely does any series explore this concept, especially in such a well done way. Nice job on this one TNT and with the baby boomer bulge again, it may just surprise you with a major jump in ratings for season 2.
Oh gosh the wife and I just finished the last episode of the season. A very addictive show to watch and we enjoyed every ep. From the dramatic beautiful music to the character building, there has to be a season 2! The entire cast is amazing! I will be on the look out to see whats in store for the future of Proof. The show deserves an applause. Outstanding job you guys!
I loved Proof. It keeps people talking about life after death. Acting and writing were fantastic. Best work Jennifer Beals had done. Would most definitely pick it up for a second season.
Please keep PROOF going.
Keep Proof for another season. Great series. Loved it.
Really enjoyed the show and the finale was fabulous. Hope it comes back for a second season
My wife and I really enjoy the series Proof. I hope it gets renewed. Thank you. Dwf
