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?
Renew…I would like to see where this show would actually go though. They set up the finally in a way, that if it is indeed cancelled the show is wrapped up. Zed leaves, Touring loses his company, Dr. Tyler loses her career but they all gain proof about life after death. I mean if someone learns that…life is just some gift…nothing would really matter after that. So yeah…I would love to see what they do with the story after this…I really can’t even imagine a second season. I could imagine another episode where they relish in the proof, but what… Read more »

I really love this show please do not cancel it. thank you.
Please, please, please let there be a Season 2 of Proof… I absolutely love this new TV show!!!!!
Please renew!!! This kind of proof is different than scientific. It is based off of belief. Once you witness something so powerful to you, you let yourself enter a psychological feedback loop to reinforce yourself to believe that it is foundational you sound enough to call proof. I hope this show gets closer and closer to that something.
I love this show, it is so interesting and well acted. Jennifer and Matthew do an amazing job. Please bring it back!
Renew! I want to see where it goes. Love the subplots.
