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?
Love this show. Hope it stays around another season
Absolutely keep this show on the air!
I loved this show and hope you renew it for another season. It is so wonderful to see a show that is thought provoking, offers a fresh idea, and isn’t one of the inane reality shows. I also appreciated that it isn’t about guns, sex, violence, and car chases. Some of the best shows on TV took more than a few airings to develop a large following. Give this one a chance.
I love this show. I watch it every week, either live or On-Demand. Please don’t cancel it. Give it a chance. The finale was fabulous.
Simple answer: season 2
please.. Please bring this show back!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW, the cast is great and the concept of this show is very unick and much too special to be canceled!!!!
My sister and I both love Proof. Though our Christian faith teaches us that there is definitely life after death, it is certainly confirmed in our own experiences. As young children, and into our adult years, we experienced many untimely losses In our family. We not only believe that those we love live on, but that they continue to be witnesses and helpers to us who are left. We include them in our thoughts, prayers and challenges here, and we believe that they are advocating for us every day. There is only a very thin space between us. I hope… Read more »
Jennifer Beals doesn’t do mega amounts of scripts, but when she does, they are incredible…. It may not be Flashdance as yet in the ratings, but… Oh What a Feeling it left us with!! This series is no nonsense, sci-fi reality….. And it will be the sleeper/ catch on series that started in non prime season time….Just give it a chance to grab hold in regular season prime time… 2nd season can only be better if they keep to the hard line skepticism, and don’t get to hokey or religious, just another reality!…..

My husband and I love the show. Please keep it going. We are really hooked and looking forward to season 2. The actors are amazing and its way better than watching a movie. Please TNT I’m begging you.
Keep this show! My family and I watch every week. There are few shows that are appropriate and entertaining for the whole family. Don’t. Cancel.
the show has been great. please don’t cancel it!
This is a great show. I would look forward to it each week. It should return.
Please, please, we need one more season!!!
Such a wonderful series! Renew! I want to see more! My mother asked me the other day about this series and said I should watch it… I have kept up the entire season… Apparently she did too. I can’t wait to see what happens now that Cat realizes it wasn’t the same woman who delivered her flowers. Just her smile at the end… Please bring it back!
I would ABSOLUTELY keep this series going. It is one if the most intriguing television series I’very ever watched! Please keep going.
