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 renew! Love the show and the cast, especially Jennifer Beals.
I would definitely watch it for a second season. It is an interesting concept to explore.
I would watch Proof for a second season. It was an interesting idea to explore.
Renew foe second season!!!
Super cool show at first didn’t really think I’d like it and I thought it might freak me out a bit but then I binge watched the first 3-4 episodes and got hooked really hope it comes back for at least another season
please keep Proof, major crimes, and most especially Rizzoli & Isles
Please renew this show. I enjoy it very much. The concept is handled respectfully and speaks to so many of us who question these kinds of things. The actors are doing a great job, and the back stories are interesting. I think it deserves a second season.
Keep it. Needs a little touching up on script and acting but is a great concept to continue to develop. Remember, Big Bang started even lower and took 3 years to get this amount of viewership.
Please keep it on. It is such a fresh idea for tv. Great stories that make you think and feel. Actors are top notch.
Excellent concept for a new series. Thought-provoking, deals with an important question that human beings have been asking forever. Definitely should be renewed.
Please one more season!!
As well all know since Flash Dance JennifeR Beals is Boracial part African American part White. As an African American I feel very offended that u have hast her as a white woman with white lids with a white ex husband and you have completely wiped out her African American Heritage on the show.
Acting good — Jennifer Beals very believable. Matthew Modine is great too. Please keep the series going. It has promise.
We love this show!!!! Please say its coming back.
Please consider renewing this show. It was very well written and so thought provoking. It was not so extreme that one would consider it to be to the extreme. It contained information and the storyline each week left the viewer really thinking about it. By far, this show was not the usual show with murder, blood and guts. Thought provoking and well done.
