Over the past year, TNT really cleaned house by cancelling several of their drama series. They’re supposedly now favoring “edgier” series. Does Proof, a show that focuses on death and the afterlife, fit with that new strategy? How will it do in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like watching the Proof TV series on TNT? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Keep it. One of the better shows on TV. Great cast and interesting story line. Keep it! KEEP IT.
I loved watching The Proof and hope that it is renewed. They treated HDE and Life after Death in a very openminded way so that they viewer could make up their own minds as Cat tried to accept or reject what she was experiencing. Very well done.
My mother passed away about two months ago on june 28,2015 (linda hess). I started watching it right after she passed away, it helped me deal with her passing, and helped give me a little hope. I pray they have a 2nd season.
Very unusual and thoughtful. Not over done. There is much evidence of significant change to those experiencing NDE’s. Series is a relief from mindless violence.
This was one of the best series I’ve watched in a long time. If this show is not renewed I’m done with TNT.
This topic is of great interest to me, as it is to many people. The atheist side could be explored more to set up more conflict with the majority os scientists and doctors not believing in something beyond life. There is so much information on NDEs out there, but what explains OBEs? This show has the possibility of showing the human connection. Who are we? If we suffer from.total amnesia or brain damage, do we still contain the same consciousness or soul or are we more than our memories? The show can delve into so many different theories and explanations… Read more »
I loved PROOF! The cast was great -and I could not wait to see the next episode!… I kept worrying that the writers would run out of material, however.

One might be that they were worried about their own mortality, or did not want their own set beliefs somehow challenged by science or religions other than their own. Jennifer Beal(e?) is a great actress and a longtime favorite of mine. The other actors were doing a fine job -and I felt… Read more »
Why is 18-49 the only demographic that matters? There are some of us over 49 who watch
TV too. Love the show. Hope you renew it.
I love this show! It covers life and death in a fascinating manner. This show must stay on!!!!!!
I really hope this series is renewed. I enjoyed watching it and can’t wait to see the next episodes! Please renew it, it isn’t often that you find a nice clean and interesting show.
This was a solid show. Hope they renew.
We hope Proof IS Renewed! Watch it religiously & talk about its twists & turns. A thinking , spiritual show….. Thanx TNT!
The best show I’ve seen in all tim. Please do a second series.
I really hope this show is renewed. I wasn’t sure when it first started but it has improved each episode to where I now look forward to each new one. Loved the season finale. Hope it’s not cancelled.
Please renew. We need more shows exploring the greater mysteries in life AND death. Our society is lost in this shallow materialistic game.
