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?
Thank you TNT for providing us with such an intelligent and thought provoking Series called Proof. The manner in which you provide skeptic’s beliefs along with undeniable human experiences offers your audience hours of thought inspiring conversation. If you ask me this show needs to move to a major TNT blockbuster and not just a tiny 10 week series.

Yes PROOF, should see another season because it was a fantastic program.
I seriously enjoy this TV show. When it involves spiritual or controversial concepts, you’ve got my attention. NDE is an intriguing subject that can awaken the dormant corners of our minds and hearts by simply listening. We’ve had enough shows with “canned laughter” and jokes regarding well knowns and politicians. It feels so good to evolve beyond that elementary level thru this show. Enough true stories have been documented by doctors and written about by different authors to keep the story line alive for many seasons. The hour passes so quickly, it is such a great subject.
