More than likely, TNT’s Kyra Sedgwick-produced “Proof” is more drama than supernatural in nature, but the medical-themed pilot has landed its lead actress so we’ll keep passing on the news until we get confirmation one way or the other.

Per Deadline, Jennifer Beals (“The L Word,” The Bride, Flashdance) will head up the cast as Dr. Kathryn Russo, a skeptical, hard-science, brilliant female surgeon with a caustic edge who has been struggling with the devastating loss of her teenage son and a growing estrangement from her surviving daughter.

Dr. Russo is persuaded to investigate cases of reincarnation, out-of-body experiences, hauntings — all of it looking for verifiable proof to answer one of life’s greatest questions: Is death truly the end, or is there something else beyond?

“Proof” is written by Rob Bragin and directed by Alex Graves. Sedgwick exec produces with Jill Littman, Tom Jacobson, Bragin, and Graves.
