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.

I love, love, love this show. Please don’t cancel it.
I can’t imagine where you can go with it but I sure hope you can.
I wrote a book called What Happens When We Die and your script is amazing how realistic it all is, so thank you very very much for this great show.
Proof is the best series I have ever been interested in. I can’t get enough of it. I love all the characters. The story line is interesting, exciting and very well done. I’m so looking forward to season two. Thank you for finally having a series I adore.
YES!! I demand a season two! Finally, a show I actually like, please don’t cancel proof!
Renew Renew Renew!!! I love the series!! Please keep it going!!
Love the show …must be renewed
I love Proof. I think it is an intriguing show that I look fowatd to. Great story line and addictive to follow. I do hope that this show continues with season 2.
Yes, PROOF is a concept long overdue (at least 20 years on), but as a show is well conceived, well acted and with a lot of track still ahead. So lets make sure it continues. Medium went on for years, and although we want more intensity and direction, the uncertain expansion of views of the real side of life, and PROOF in principle which the doctors (Jennifer Beals and staff) continue to disengage, adding medical issues and hidden causes not fully drawn out by the writers whom we hope will pick it up towards revealing proof and consequences of accepting… Read more »
PROOF is terrific. Interesting, new take on the afterlife question with the very gifted Jennifer Beals and Matthew Modine leading a solid cast. PLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE let this show continue and for gosh sakes get behind it/promote it!
Proof is one of the best shows that we have watched in a long time. Great acting great story line and we’re really really hoping for a second season at the least!
I think Proof is a fabulous series and hope it continues for second season. Wonderful show.
Interesting concept. Hopefully will be renewed. Not every show has to be for the masses. Maybe a little more advertising. Very few friends have heard of it. Give a second season a go. Please!!
Proof is a fantastic show with great writing and a supurb cast. Please renew this for a second season !
Please renew for a second season! Great show, great actors and great story line!
