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! It’s unique and interesting and should be renewed!!
One of the best most innovative shows on TV. Interesting and intriguing concept. Inquiring minds want to see more “Proof”!
I love this show and really want it to return. Having lost a son it has brought out good and sad emotions which is great acting. . Jennifer Beal does an awesome job and the rest of cast is terrific too.
I love this show. I am 60 years old and just love it. Lots of twists and turns
Please renew! It’s a great series, different topic. I love it! So tired of reality shows, finally something to watch!
please keep the show, it is very interesting and the actors are great
You must bring it back!
Please renew this show. I think its absolutely interesting and great entertainment. What a great disappointment if this were cancelled.
AGREE!!!
I love the series and hope it gets renewed. It’s different and interesting. It’s a topic everyone thinks about and wonders. We will never truly know until our time comes but it’s interesting to think about. Great topic for a show.
I loved this show. Beals is great. She is very likable. The topic draws me in.
This was a favorite of mine this season, I was so impressed by the amazing acting and was kept in suspense or moved in some way by each episode. I loved everything but I really enjoyed the unexpected interactions between the daughter and parents. It was enormously refreshing to see. Please renew this interesting show!
Would love to see this series continued. How nice to explore this phenomena and not have a drama centered around violence. Please continue.
You can’t have this series for one year. I’m hooked. My wife and I watch it every week.
Bring it back, PLEASE!
I’m interested in the topic. My wife and I watch it every week. Bring it back
for another season.
I agree with a previous comment. This show needs to reach the public more. There are so many choices out there, but this is an excellent show and explores an area we all wonder about, definitely the biggest mystery to be solved. The acting is excellent and the minor story lines makes it very personal. Please renew this show.
