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 would have loved to have watched a second series!
What a shame! This was one of the most intelligent, interesting shows on television. I’m sorry to hear that TNT cancelled it because they want shows that appeal to younger audiences.
loved the show. Was waiting for it to come back on. Maybe someone else will pick it up. I hope
I am sorry it has not been renewed. Any chance of a final movie.
I really don’t get these great shows being cancelled! Every single show my husband and I have really gotten into and we really couldn’t wait to see the next episode, they cancel after the first year! This show could of gone so many ways! Really sick of them getting cancelled!
Loved the show. Was waiting for the new season.
Join the discussion I am still waiting for them to change their minds, I noticed that the Libraians was renewed and they had a lower rating then Proof. They really didn’t give it enough time. I think if they did they would have a better following. I was telling people about it all the time. I hope another network picks it up if they don’t.
I really liked it. It was thought provoking. Tired of Reality Shows. No reason why shows that require a little thinking, imagination and that involve something other than violence can’t be entertaining.
I really liked this show. Was looking for it again. Will miss it. And then they wonder why no one wants to watch regular tv anymore. Have you thought maybe we’re all sick of reality tv? no talent stars being made out of nothing? we watch tv to escape reality!!
I can’t believe that this program had such low ratings! It was a program that really made you think about life and the afterlife, in a pragmatic manner. Maybe people were afraid of what it made them think about…
I wish it was still on…..they take the good shows off and put on all those stupid “reality” shows. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
This was a GREAT show. Put it back on ,!!!
I loved that show!! I am really disappointed in TNT!
Loved this show! Why are we constantly bombarded with all these shows that don’t deserve air time? Are people so intellectually dead these days that we can’t have shows that ask the big questions? Push limits? Have an intelligent conversation with their viewers? Perhaps PBS could pick up the program? We can always count on exceptional programming there.
I really enjoyed the show, and am disappointed that TNT cancelled it.
Really liked this show, was looking forward to season 2.
I am so tired of decent shows being canceled
