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.
8/18 update: If you ran TNT, would you cancel or keep this series?

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?
You’d be crazy not to renew it!! Today’s Ep7 solidified the series!!
Please don’t cancel Proof!! I love this show and I’m only 17!! The show keeps me intrigued and wanting more. At least give renew it for a 2nd season, if ratings drop or are low then talk about it. I don’t get into a lot if shows, but Proof and Rizzoli and Isles are amazing!! Please don’t take Proof off the air until it gets at least a 2 season chance to prove how awesome of a show it really is!!
I really enjoy Proof and hope that it is renewed, it is very well done and not your same old medical show. I like the side stories of all the characters!
I like Proof and hope it remains on TNT. It is only one of the new shows that I regularly watch.
Love the show, please renew it!
Love the show. People that do not believe in the afterlife…..DO NOT WATCH. It is nice to have a show that makes you think and does not have foul language and naked people at every turn.

Proof is such ground breaking and arresting TV. It’ s the very best tv show to come along in years! The story telling and acting are outstanding! Proof leaves you eagerly looking and waiting for next week’s episode!
I hope the show is picked up for another season. I think it has good potential, it just drags along. I think the people in this show have no life in them, good or bad. Something is just off.
Hoping for a 2nd season! The stories are moving and Jennifer Beals and the rest of the cast deliver first rate performance.
I enjoy the show but would prefer Perception to be back on the air. Kevin Reilly really screwed up with the decision to cancel it.
I still love the show. Favor more storyline’s with the original premise of nde experiences because I had one. Who wouldn’t feel at ease if they felt they had died and come back.
I mean, wouldn’t you like a preview. Weird comments. I still watch but it seems to be more
of a detective show lately.
I had a friend who told me of his near death experience – but he didn’t have a positive, heavenly one. His scared him so much he turned his life around.
Hi! Just saw your message. I hope you had a positive journey. Do you feel like sharing any of that? Does time stand still in that state or are things just flying by? If I’m being too intrusive, I apologize. I’ve lost a lot of family but the most overwhelming one was my daughter. I’m so curious.
If I’ve overstepped, forgive me… Janie
Love the show. Don’t cancel it. Hoping for a Season 2.
Definitely rooting for a season 2! Proof is an intriguing show, not a mindless show. It’s cast are brilliant and obviously properly chosen, befitting their characters. The storyline is written carefully yet very thoughtfully to fully engage viewers with ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybes’ pertaining to matters bordering life & death. The momentum to season 1 is building. Give it a chance to proceed to season 2 to justify its existence. To justify its story, to justify the cast, the writers n the producers. You would not regret it.

Really like the idea, but hate how draggy it is. We have watched up to now but if they don’t make some changes, it may get deleted. Wawaaaa
I can’t believe Perception got canceled for this awful show! I barely got through 1.25 episodes before I made the decision how boring, slow moving and ridiculous this premise is. And main character is horrific too.
I’ve felt the same as you from the first episode. Tried to give it a 2nd chance and decided it wasn’t worth my time after the 2nd episode. I especially agree about Jennifer Beals character. Thanks for the affirmation!
Love the show. It’s definitely not for skeptics.
I think it’s funny that a dying man wants “to know what happens when we die ” He’s going to find out very soon anyway, he doesn’t need a surgeon to tell him! LOL Very silly premise for a tv show…and it’s been done many times before. *snooze*
We stopped watching after the 2nd episode. For TV that really holds your attention, we watch “The Last Ship”, “Zoo”, and ESPECIALLY “Under The Dome”!! The hour for each just flies by!!
