TNT has decided not to renew their Proof TV show for a second season. The life-after-death drama has been cancelled after one short season of 10 episodes.
On Proof, Doctor Carolyn “Cat” Tyler (Jennifer Beals) lost her son, saw her marriage end, and became estranged to her teenage daughter. Looking for purpose, 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.
Debuting in June, Proof got off to a slow start with a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.66 million viewers. The numbers didn’t get better as the weeks progressed and were often worse. The season ended up averaging a 0.31 in the demo with 2.12 million viewers. It was one of the lowest-rated scripted shows on the cable channel.
What do you think? Did you like the Proof TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
I am in shock that this show is cancelled… It was excellent and everyone I told about it watched it and loved it as well.. We looked forward to each week and couldn’t wait til it came out on divd and looked forward to season2. I stumbled upon this show. I don’t think it was advertised properly… I would never have thought it was not renewed.. Everyone is going to be disappointed when I tell them.. I hope another station picks this one up !!!!!

I loved this show and I can’t tell you how disappointed I am!!!
My husband and I just finished watching the last 2 episodes of Proof. We loved, loved, loved it and were looking forward to Season 2. Jennifer Beals was terrific. Please bring it back ! The topic of life after death is fascinating. Please reconsider. Can’t wait to see what would come next.
What??? I’ve been waiting for sason two since fall started and only today I thought about trying to find out and I’m SO disappointed ti know it was canceled!!!! This is a great show! Why was it canceled? Please bring it back!
I loved this show! I didnt get to see it until the season was over, but I marathoned it and was eager to catch the next season! This is unjust!!
Loved this show. Im doing some soul searching myself and found this show to be what I was looking for. Please bring it back!!!!
What a shame that a show like this gets cancelled and all of the REAL HOUSEWIVES remain on TV! I agree that there wasn’t much publicity for this show, so I’m not sure it was given a fair shot. It was a very low key kind of show, without sex, violence, and profanity. I hope TNT reconsiders and gives it another season and a little more publicity. The show is definitely based on an interesting concept, and certainly makes you think. I recorded ALL of the shows and enjoyed every one of them.
Shame on you for not advertising it enough and also for only doing 10 episodes. The comment by Dolly on November 4 is true. I spend half my time with the mute ready to block out the obnoxious noise that is totally unnecessary. We are treated like we need the experiment of Sesame Street. They noticed how they got children’s attention when they watched commercials, so they made an educational show in that style. My daughter was the first generation. We are grown ups. We don’t need something loud every few minutes to keep us watching, just a good and… Read more »
Please bring the show back. I agree with Janet’s comment, I do not believe that it was advertised enough. I loved the show and found that it brought me comfort after the loss of my daughter. I hope you reconsider.
Please bring “Proof” back? I Totally agree, especially this comment! Ivonne says: October 23, 2015 at 12:44 pm What a shame TNT has done what ABC does with the better written shows they have had in their programming. It is no longer about what TV audiences want, it’s about ratings and money and we are left with mindless, downright dumb shows. “Proof” is a well written and acted show, a far cry from the garbage we get on TV today. And all the comments in this tread are right, it has to be violent, with gratuitous nude and sex scenes,… Read more »
Proof is a great show. I hate that they have cancelled the series. I wanted to see what other evidence they could find
Finally, a series that didn’t have sex as it’s number one attraction…. It had good story lines, adults engaging in adult discussions, and a topic everyone has an interest in… “Is there life after death ?”
I absolutely loved this series. PLEASE bring Proof back for another season !!!
Please Please bring proof back. This was such a good show. I don’t think it was advertised enough. I hope you reconsider
