Proof was one of the more obviously Shyamalan-flavored television ideas of the early 2010s. Developed for Syfy with Marti Noxon, the project centered on a man shaken by the death of his parents who offers a reward to anyone who can prove there is life after death. Grief, obsession, belief, the need to know what sits on the other side of the veil, it was very much in Shyamalan territory.
The project drew real attention because it landed with a put-pilot commitment, which meant Syfy was serious enough to push it forward in development. But development and completion are not the same thing. Proof never matured into an aired series and never established an actual on-screen footprint the way Wayward Pines and Servant did.
So the short version is simple: Proof was announced, it sounded promising, and then it stalled before becoming a produced Shyamalan television series.
