series "Proof. " The question is whether it will be renewed or
cancelled? The show, in its first season, premiered on June
16. The series revolves around the question of whether or
not there is life after death.
TV by the Numbers reported that the series has been
averaging 7.1 million viewers per episode across TNT's multiple platforms,
which is less than what other shows on the network receive, such as
"Rizzoli & Isles" and "Major Crimes." However,
"Proof" is still averaging better than "Murder in the
First" or "Falling Skies."
Although there is no word
yet on whether or not a season 2 is happening, the ratings could indicate that
there's hope for the freshman series.
In "Proof," Beals plays Dr. Carolyn Tyler, a surgeon who
has suffered the recent devastating loss of her teenage son. She also has gone
through a recent near-death experience herself. Her marriage has ended, and her
daughter is growing more distant.
Other members of the cast
include David Sutcliffe, Edi Gathegi, Caroline Rose Kaplan, Callum Blue and
Annie Thurman.
"Proof" airs
Tuesday nights at 10/9c p.m. on TNT.
