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?
Proof is an intriguing and thoughtful series which deals with an important question that millions of people must think about. Strong acting by a diverse cast. Each episode presents a good story that can stand alone. But each episode also furthers our understanding of Carolyn. Good visuals of the afterlife add nice magical feel to the question of what is there for us after we cross.
I have the finale left to watch and I sincerely hope for renewal. Proof is one of the best new series this summer.

Bring it back, please! Love the show – one of my favorites.
Please renew this show…
I love this show! I am really hoping it heys renewed for a second season. I find the story intriguing. It is also something new a refreshing; different from anything else on tv.
There’s so much garbage out there (too many reality shows). This show has substance and intrigue. Definitely a keeper. Hopefully the network doesn’t concede to the “junk” watchers.
I think older people are afraid of seeing things about drying and what can happen. I’m 74 and like most of which you are preducing. I hope you keep the show going, just to see how you end it. It’s nice to think that there is something in the future other than how things are going today. We all will found out sooner or later anyway. Thanks
Please renew. I am sick of all the reality show. Keep losing the god show -Forever for one.
