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?
This is a great series, please don’t cancel it. Not only is in interesting and I love the actors, it makes a lot of sense. For I’ve known people worth NDE and a lot of what they tell me, mirrors the show, including a friend losing his psychiatric privileges because of recurring dreams of the NDE. It’s refreshing to see something on TV where there’s no violence, no killing or even over sex scenes. DON’T CANCEL PROOF!
Best show on television!!!! Very few people I know have heard about it. Could be a marketing problem. Please renew. Needs to be rerun over the summer to give it time to catch more viewers. It is addictive.
Renew! A fresh, entertaining storyline with an amazing cast. I love Proof and would like to see more of it!
Really enjoy the show! Should definitely be renewed for a second season.
I hope it gets renewed!! I don’t often refer TV shows to friends, but I have been talking up Proof all summer. I found this show to be one of the few decent and refreshing shows of one of the most dismal summer TV seasons ever. It had depth, an interesting concept and each show drew me back for more. If Proof were aired during the fall/winter, it would have done much better. I hope TNT doesn’t make their decision by numbers, but by quality. Anyone remember the ratings Breaking Bad got it’s first season?
I really enjoined this show. Approached the Afterlife question very realistic. This show allowed for openings for discussion within varied age groups. I believe another season would be wonderful
This show is Amazing & I hope they Don’t cancel it. Kyra Sedgwick has a real winner with this series & I’m so tired of seeing all of my favorite shows get cancelled. TNT has an incredible lineup of original series, that are so much better than the regular networks. I never missed an episode of this show. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!!
PROOF, tv series…. KEEP IT GOING….GREAT SHOW!!!!
Keep it please…great cast…love the storyline!
I enjoyed the show and I really hope to see a second season. it was thought provoking and entertaining! I totally support this show!
This show is the best show of 2015! PLEASE DONT CANCEL IT!!! I’m sure there are a lot of fans who love this show who don’t want it to be canceled as well. The hey put a all these crap shows on and it takes awhile to find just the right to watch and once to find one you like or love, then your hooked and once that season is over you want it to come back for a second and 3rd and 4th and so on. So what I’m trying to say is PLEASE DONT CANCEL PROOF.
Love it! Proof is one of my new favorite shows! I record it each week and cant wait until the next episode.
Definitely renew!!
KEEP PROOOOOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please 🙂
I have found this show to be new and refreshing. I have watched all the episodes and I am still hoping that this show will be renewed. I may be from and older demographic (55-65) but feel most people want to know what happens after death to our loved ones and ourselves.
