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?
Bad call,TNT
My wife and we’re looking forward to a new season. Too bad. 🙁
The TV show Proof is a great show. I can’t believe TNT is not bringing it back. But it’s par for the course. A great show is canceled. The bad ones get renewed.
I also like Proof I was hoping it would have been picked up for a second season. I am disappointed that it was cancelled.
Should I even be surprised! As usual a thought provoking well written show has been axed. Television gets worse and worse.
Netflix should pick up Proof. If we fans would all contact Netflix about it maybe they would consider it.
I wish Netflix would pick it up. Fans should ask Netflix to take it on.
I finally found a great series that both my husband and I looked forward to watching each week. I hope TNT reconsiders their decision to cancel Proof. Much better acting and plots than any of the other life-after-death shows.
i really don’t think i will watch tnt any more they take good shows like proof and Dallas let you see one season you wait for them to come back then they don’t so why brother with this channal
I don’t think this should have been cancelled. This was one of the best shows on TV in a long time. Please consider the possibly of bringing this show back. ..
I loved it
Was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.
Loved the show, couldn’t wait week to week !!!
I enjoyed watching Proof and haveing discussions with my friends. Hope to see it come back soon
I love this show. After 1 season is not enough to say the show will not take off. Of the shows you have coming back on I only watch 2 Rizzoli and isles and major crimes (but only because of the closer). I watched the first few episodes of the shows you did not cancel and I thought they sucked. So thanks for canceling a show that makes you think instead of midless crap. It makes me not watch your channel at all.
