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?
I love this show. I’ve been interested in the topic for years. It needs to be addressed and discussed. Please continue to enlighten and give hope to millions. Please renew this show it is one of my favorites. I’ m in an older demographic though, my 60’s.
Please renew. This show is well-written, taking on a challenging subject and making viewers think. This has been one of my “must see” shows of the summer.
Keep. Nicely acted. And when knows……….
Absolutely keep it!!!!
I live this show! Please renew it!!!
Please renew.
Yes! I love this show – the topic is relevant and interesting and the actors are very good. It’s refreshing to have a different type of subject matter that doesn’t involve violence or scandal. Please don’t cancel!
Yes definitely renew – Great show, acting and storylines plus Jennifer Beals at her best.
wow, what a show- even got my husband to watch- that’s a shocker in itself. Personality – I really hope this show makes it. I maybe just one person, but I will do what I can to keep it rolling next season. It could go a very long way in educating people about, and removing the stigma of NDE. Many people never say a peep about what they experienced, and if they do talk- the social stigma can be Perplexing. I was blessed to not only have 2 very real NDE, but shared it with my grandma.

Keep it up but bring in true faith in Christ and how He will show us why he has lead us down the paths we follow.
Unfortunately Dawn, JESUS CHRIST is at the bottom of the entertainment industry list of priorities. Mel Gibson made “The Passion” without Hollywood’s bank roll & was ignored for any kind of recognition during award season. As for PROOF, my husband &
I watch it & hope it’s renewed. Ivan’s drive to know, Carolyn’s NDE & loss of Will & the conflict her profession brings to the table. Science tends to try & disprove Christ while those of us with faith believe. Keep exploring with PROOF, TNT.
Please renew Proof! I’m so tired of all the shows that I love being cancelled. The casting is great and the show inspirational. It’s refreshing to watch a show that doesn’t have violence in it! Please renew Proof!
Yes!!!! Please renew for a second season i have always wondered if there was actually life after death on the other side and or what it would be like if thrre was. I know its just a tv show and its not actual research but it is interesting very much so actually and its been a long time since ive really loved a show plus it doesnt hurt that jennifer beals is beautiful sexy and a brilliant actress. Please renew for a second season.
