TV show description:
From creator David Elliot, who executive produces with Danny Strong and showrunner Adam Armus, the Proven Innocent TV show is a legal drama that centers on Madeline Scott (Lefevre), a resolute attorney on a lifelong quest for justice. When she was just 18, Madeline was wrongfully convicted of murder, along with her brother, Levi (Smith).
Today, no one knows better than Madeline how essential to justice is to set free innocent people. To that end, she and her partner, Easy Boudreau (Hornsby), lead an underdog defense team, dedicated to overturning unjust convictions.
Madeline’s bond with Easy runs deep. He helped her attain her freedom after she served 10 years in prison. Rounding out their team are investigator Bodie Quick (Kartheiser) and communications director Violet Price (James), who produces a true-crime podcast based on their investigations.
While Madeline’s mission is a noble one, her hard-hitting approach is not without its detractors. The most prominent of these is Gore Bellows (Grammer), the prosecutor who oversaw Madeline’s conviction and is still convinced of her guilt.
Although Bellows is determined to return Madeline to prison, she continues her fight to free the innocent and search for the real killer in her own case.
Series Finale:
Episode #13 — In Defense of Madeline Scott, Part 2
With Madeline’s freedom at stake, Easy’s defense hits a bump in the road. The team must band together to focus on solving Rosemary’s murder once and for all before time runs out. Meanwhile, as Bellows closes in, new evidence and old enemies come into play.
First aired: May 10, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Proven Innocent TV series? Should this FOX TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I really liked the show too bad
I’m so bummed to hear that this show was cancelled!! It was very well done and touched on so many relevant subjects. I loved all of the actors, especially Kelsey Grammer who has always been a favorite! I hope it gets picked up by another network!!! We never missed an episode!!
I can’t believe it! This was the BEST show. PLEASE renew it or someone else PLEASE pick it up. I loved this show. So many plot lines that need to still be told!
I can’t believe it! This was the BEST show. PLEASE renew it or someone else PLEASE pick it up. I loved this show.
I loved this show!!!!! It should have been renewed or picked up from someone else. Please renew it!!! I loved the actors and it kept you on your toes. I am really bumming you didn’t renew it, please reconsider. I always looked forward to watching it. PLEASE, PLEASE RENEW IT!!!!
I think it is a fantastic show and should be renewed or picked up by some one. A lot of interesting cases are solved. I, for one, will miss it very much.
TV shows should at be given a second season before deciding on how it rates! It was a great program,!!!
I think Fox needs to rethink the way they decide to cancel their shows, at least give it a try at a different time and on a different night. I thought the show was wonderful.
C’mon FOX, all of your other ridiculous “reality tv” shows you put on and then pigeon hole your best show on a poor tv nite and time. Proven Innocent is the best show on your station. I can’t believe you killed it. I am so upset, was TOTALLY looking forward to them going after Bellows next year…very sad
I totally agree, J Wobensmith. I too was looking forward to seeing Bellows taken down.
I absolutely love Proven Innocence. It is about the only weekly drama I watch. The topics covered are all current and the acting is superb. I love the actress who plays Madeline and I will be so disappointed if it is cancelled. Please don’t!!
I really like this show so of course it’s canceled. Guess it was too though provoking for the “targeted audience”. Heaven forbid they’d actually watch something that wasn’t a mindless comedy or idiotic reality show.
Definitely renewed –well written and acted thoroughly engaginf
Great show proven innocent is o e of favorite
This has been one of my favorite shows. I hope Fox renews for another season.
I thoroughly enjoy this show. Why can’t we get to see who the real murderer is? I especially like the victims being cleared but not all the details of Maddie’s love life.
