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 enjoyed watching “Proof” and hope it will be renewed for a second series. There are many ‘real’ stories of people who did not cross over and remember what they saw. This show touches on a nerve for everyone who wonders about death and that’s why it is great. We need to know there are people who NDEs.
Please don’t cancel this show. P.S. we watch Castle re-runs so much we can practically recite the lines as they are spoken!!
Proof is a wonderful series!! We looked forward to it each week! Many fans of the show would be very disappointed if it was cancelled. PLEASE bring it back! We will spread the word about what a great show it is!!
Renew please, it’s a great series.
Keep the show… and please update the status of show. Is it renewed or cancelled????
It’s canceled!! What a shame! Such a wonderful thought-provoking show. Too many idiots only want to watch mindless violent shows…
Awesome series! No foul language or overt sexual innuendo. A fascinating subject and fresh cast. What else can top that as far as family entertainment? By all means, renew!!
I love the show and so does my husband. Seems like every time we like something they take it off the air.
that’s exactly how I feel. I just read today that they did cancel it so all our comments did no good at all unfortunately
This is my favorite show, please don’t cancel it!
Great show! Please renew!
KEEP THE SHOW PROOF…ITS AMAZING
Friend told me about proof. Went on demand and watched first two episodes. Now I’m hooked. Please renew for second season. Interesting stories and cast
I loved this show and would very disappointed if it is not renewed. I loved each week a different life after death storyline. I don’t think it was the show but maybe the time slot it was put in. Please consider renewing.
This show is fantastic….please renew.
Proof is great! Bring it back.
Proof is the only series I have been watching. Great cast, excellent writing that had me looking forward to next episode. Please bring back for season 2!
