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?
Oh renew, a well shot and interesting look at a future discovery waiting to happen.
I love Proof! Several of my friends have now become great fans of the show, Please renew it for next season.
Wonderful acting, and a powerful and excellent topic to explore@
My family loves to his show. Not only is the subject matter intriguing but seeing Jennifer Beals in a strong lead role was wonderful. She’s done a great job in this role and the crew in the show are also characters you quickly bond with! I as well as friends were all excited about this show. I even put it on my calendar as reminder weekly to ensure I didn’t miss it. With so many mediocre, voyeuristic shlick on TV today (reality shows-freak shows is more accurate) I cannot believe ratings for a great show like Proof are as low… Read more »
