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 series and hope it is renewed. Content and acting was super! Interesting to explore this topic integrating various ideology regarding the afterlife. PLEASE DON”T cancel!!!!!
I have really enjoyed “Proof”. I’m a big Jennifer Beals fan and she is well cast in her role–that really adds to the believability of the story lines. Hope TNT keeps the show for at least another season
Love Proof! I find it fascinating! Please do NOT cancel this show!!
Keep it!
any one that has LOST someone. (Which is everyone) if they are honest with themselves, will be intrigued with this… It’s a question we all ask.
I love the series proof. Please bring it back. It makes people who have no hope rething about there being a Heaven and after life. Please bring it back and the 3 Muskateers on TNT. LOVE THEM! So does my friends.

This is a great show. Very touching, and approaches the subject matter without being cheesy or silly (well, except for the church haunting episode). Great drama, in line with TNTs great roster. Acting is superb. Keep please!
My husband and I both have enjoyed Proof very much. We have looked forward to each week’s episode. Keep it on! The numbers are sure to increase next season.
This show is so refreshing. I hope it returns for another season.
This show hits home for many people! It is very uplifting and gives hope and excitement for our futures after this life…. Everyone has lost loved ones and prays to reunite one day!
LOVEEEEE IT!!! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW! Waiting to hear when second season will start…
Love the show. I hope the renew it for another season.
