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?
Excellent show.!! Very well-written and provocative. Bring it back!! PLEASE!
My husband and I look forward to this show every week. The acting is great and each week’s story is so interesting. Please keep it going. It’s nice to have a positive, uplifting show to watch every week. The topic is fascinating!
Please don’t cancel though show!
Did not like the series to begin with. My wife loves the show. I continued to watch Proof with her and with each episode I became more interested. I am now a complete fan and watch every episode. I have watched part 1 of the series finale, as my TV time is very restricted, but I cannot wait to see part two. In my humble opinion I would renew the show, it is worth the air time that so many other shows waste.

please keep it i love this show
Love this show. Please renew!
I really love Proof. I want it to be renewed. Jennifer Beals is great and the goal of finding out about life after death is fascinating.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE the show & am praying it will be renewed for Fall.
While the networks are overflowing with silly, dumbed-down shows, Proof is a thought-provoking hour of enjoyment. The Finale left a lot of doors open–it would be great to see how it all plays out.
Please don’t cancel Proof. The show is very thought provoking and Jennifer Beals is wonderful. Please give it a chance. There are plenty of times in the past where shows struggled in the beginning to find an audience, but were given a chance and went on to become very successful.
The show is awesome, great. This serial movie is based on a really genious idea. I mean, it really makes me doubt about those after life moments. And because it`s based on scientific facts, I wanna know more. I really want to watch the season 2. Really bad!!!!
LOVE the show. Please keep it going!
Proof is the only new show that I enjoyed this season. Please renew so we can keep following the journey. Love the cast!!!
Please do not cancel this show. My wife and I love the show and look forward to watching it every week. It is my wife’s favorite show on TV. The season finale was excellent.
