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?
Keep!! Please!! Started watching after a few episodes as i hadn’t heard about it… now i can’t get enough! Love it and all it is meant to be.
I hope that TNT renews this new series. The first season has established characters with the potential for growth, as well as the development of multiple plot lines that can be interwoven through the exploration of the main story…what, if anything exists beyond this life. The cast is strong, and although there were some slow moments, they might have been necessary to introduce all of the characters, relationships and concepts that could be built upon in future episodes. I think the characters are much more dimensional than in the earliest episodes, and I’m very interested in watching what comes next…hopefully… Read more »
I love this show!
TNT has finally a great series which I love and record if I am not able to watch that night. I am not sure how you get your rating but I rate this up there with the X files. DO NOT cancel proof it is awesome.
Very good show. Don’t cancel!!!!
I have to admit that I have had to record 40% of the episodes because I never remember the time, BUT, I never miss watching an episode (even if it is after the original airing) and have watched a couple episodes twice. I will be very disappointed if TNT decides to cancel the show. My favorite show.
Please renew! One of my two favorite TV shows right now.
Don’t Cancel!! Absolutely obsessed with this show <3
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SHOW!!! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!
KEEP it. My husband and I both love this show!

KEEP!!!!!! It’s one of the best shows on television. A well-defined drama that displays clear-headed curiosity about the afterlife, without getting too religious or too skeptical.
