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?

The show us life changing. Its like counseling for hundreds of family issues for any she or any race. Surely tens of thousands or more people have been touched in a way that made a difference in their lives. This world needs house of Payne…as many episodes as humanly possible.

Please bring house of payne back I love all of them I miss them and I love u tyler perry I’m a big fan of urs.
I totally agree that the House Of Paynes should not be cancelled. There are other producers out there in the production field that are just jelous of the success of Tyler Perry. So Tyler continue on until God says stop. Not these haters of success.
I agree with all the other comments, I love all of Tyler Perry’s work but my favorite is House of Payne, Uncle Curtis is the best. Whenever I’m down all I have to is turn on House of Payne. Please! Please! Please! Please ! bring back uncle Curtis, Ella an nem (he-he). Love you Tyler Perry.
I Love house of Payne that is the best show out of all of the others I can’t believe thay are canceling it.. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW . CURTIS PAYNE ,ELLA , JASMINE AND MALIK ARE MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS. I LOOK FORWARD TO SHOW. I LOVE THE RERUNS ON REGULAR TV. MR. TYLER PERRY IS ONE OF THE TALENTED PEOPLE THAT I KNOW. YOU CAN ‘T TALK ABOUT HIM IN A NEGATIVE WAY. HE GIVES A LOT OF OUR BLACK PEOPLE JOBS. SOME OF THEM WOULD BE UNEMPLOYED. I LOVE MR. TYLER PERRY
I can’t tell you how many times I have laughed OUT LOUD at the antics of Curtis and Calvin; what interaction but in such an hilarious way. The ups and downs of that family were NOT unrealistic; in fact I’m sure many people could identify with the situations presented to the viewers.
I’m going to miss the show terribly. Between House of Payne and Meet The Browns, I’ve had many nights of good, hard chuckles and burning tears.
Thank you, Tyler Perry, for fabulous entertainment.
OH No , this is one of my favorite shows. Im sorry but I don’t like for better of worse as much. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ bring back the Paynes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate to see a great sitcom canceled hopes its picked up by another network
