Does M. Night Shyamalan see cable viewers? That’s what Syfy is hoping. The network has given the director a committment to produce the show “Proof,” along with Marti Noxon, who is best known for producing “Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.” The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the show will focus on “the son of a billionaire tech genius who, following an accident that claims his parents’ lives, offers a large reward for anyone who can find proof of life after death.” No word yet on an airdate or when production will begin.
