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?
Definitely need to renew this series, and I can’t wait to start watching again! I watched each new episode twice on Tuesday nights, and watched again at least once on the On Demand channel. Love everything about it!
The acting is pretty good but I would like the show much better if it was based on real anecdotes and there is a wealth of material out there to draw on. Now that would be intriguing! It comes off very contrived as it is. They missed the mark on this one, that is why it is falling flat.
Please! Please! Renew!!!! I look forward to it every Tuesday!
Please renew “Proof”! It’s a one of a kind show that enters into a subject in which everyone is very curious. It’s very well done especially the way the afterlife is depicted. The cast is great and the idea of what happens when we die is very interesting.
Please please renew!!!
This series needs to be renewed. Its the only one like it that I’ve seen! How refreshing! I’d love to see it stay around long enough to do more than just get its feet wet! Give it a chance y’all….we have!
You absolutely HAVE to renew it! I am so hooked on it now. It is so different than most shows on. I will keep my fingers crossed that it is renewed.
I absolutely loved this show and I am really hoping it’s renewed!!!! This touches questions I’ve had myself and I really enjoy getting lost in it. I’ve turned multiple friends onto this show and I myself can’t wait til next season! PLEASE BRING PROOF BACK!

Please renew Proof!!! IT is one of my favorites! MY only grandson, 21years old died on Memorial day weekend 2014 and I have been searching for answers to make some kind of sense concerning is death. An accident at our local lake , turned to tragedy.
I didn’t realize last week was finale of season. Please renew. So disappointed to turn to tnt & it wasn’t on. Do you have ratings for the next age group? I know a lot of people who watch it & like it real well.
