In one of last Friday’s episodes of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, titled “God Bless the Paynes,” Calvin (Lance Gross) was shot by the man who’d earlier harassed Miranda (Keshia Knight Pulliam). He’s rushed to the hospital but his fate is unknown.
We’ve received a few emails from readers who believe that next week’s episodes will be the end of the series and the death of Calvin. While House of Payne has been “cancelled,” there are a lot more episodes still to come.
In April 2011, TBS announced that they were ending the venerable sitcom, in part to make way for Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse. At that time, we understood the final episode total for House of Payne to be 220 installments.
In late September, Perry posted on his Facebook page that TBS had ordered 42 more episodes. In December, the cast and crew had a wrap party that celebrated the completion of 254 episodes. It’s unclear if they’ll be going back into production now that the holidays are over but, based on the numbers we have, it seems like they still have at least eight more installments to make.
In the meantime, we do know that this Friday’s episodes of House of Payne aren’t the last. Two new episodes will air each Friday night for the next six weeks. Episodes 223 and 224 will air on February 17th and that will leave about 30 episodes left in the series.
In the meantime, you should know that Calvin does not die from his gunshot wounds. He lives and, at least in the next couple episodes, has to worry about paying his hospital bills because he doesn’t have insurance.
What do you think? Are you a fan of House of Payne? Are you glad to know there are more episodes on the way?

I did not like how the show ended, this is one of my favorite shows. I hope it returns. Dont have much good shows on tv anymore.
That was the final episode! Too upset! Why is the final show a cliff hanger? One of the best sitcoms left thats believeable. Hope one more season happens!
if this is the last show it ended so crazy and their were no closer to any thing and beside that i love that show
House of Payne is enjoyable…
The way the series ends is terrible, though…. I hate cliffhanger series finales ending on a sad note.
Makes people, like me, a lot less likely to watch Perry’s other shows.
Meet the Browns is unbearable…. For Better or Worse doesn’t appeal to me.
Oh, No!!!! Please Let There Be More House Of Payne! My Family & I Love This Show, and Watch it ALL The Time! This Is A Great Show That Has Real Life Issues That Everyone Can Relate to. There Is Always A Lesson To Be Learned from nearly All The Episodes.
Why did Tyler end the series on such a sad note! Miranda left Calvin on their anniversary?
Come on, series finales are suppose to end happy! I was so, so dissapointed!
Noooooo please dont end it i love watching it 🙁
Why
It is a positive show ,that relates to everyday life and its very funny.
Fridays episode was really good..I wish it were more episodes. TBS should’ve cancelled meet the browns. House of Payne had a good story line..I hope they bring it back.
I agree! That makes more sense to me!
they should bring it back we love this show………
Please keep house of Payne this my Friday show that I can come home to when I need a laugh or cheer up and I hope that this is not going to be your last episode of house of Payne. Please keep it ondo it for the fans of house of the show
I love house of payne is there something you can do so I can continue watching my house of payne. Man that show teaches you about everyday living and its sooo funny.
I just love watching “The House of Payne” keep it coming. Thank you!
This show is truly a wonderful family show, I sure wish this Friday were not the last episode. With garbage like Love & Hip Hop Atlanta on, we need more shows like House of Payne. I also like For Better or Worse much better now than before, and hope it continues.
