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?

Ditto. I hope this show does not end! Shows strong family values that people can really relate to.
I truely love the show and yes there like family and I love all of Tyler Perry show and I just pray that they keep giving the gift of giving and welcome them into our homes and hearts.
I am glad toknow that Calvin does not die. But would like to see him and miranda become financially stable and cj and janine perhaps in a good place and curtis finally going to church on a sunday with mrs. ella. It is okay to have everything end on a good note because it is rarely what you see. Even though it might have crazy bumps getting there let them all be happy……….PPPPLLLEAAASEEE

I really wish they wouldn’t take the show off air it’s part of the other few shows on tv that are Christian based and I love to watch these kind of dramas with the faith the families have and it also teaches a lot of what people really go thru in life please don’t take it off air
We love this show..it is like part of our family
I am so glad to know that what I witnessed on demand was not the end!! Although it is a show, they have so many issues that relate to real life and that couldn’t be the end!! Thank you so much for the information oh…..and I hope that the guy gets his just reward for his thug life.
I love this show and I am sorry to hear that it is ending. It is good to know that Calvin getting shot wasn’t the last show. I hope they reconsider cancelling the show. Ditto to what Toni said.
I love this show…..the laughter, fun, love, heartaches and “Payne” of families. I hope it continues.
I love the show hope it doesn’t END I BEEN watching it since the first. One I hope it stays on……
its like the first episoide came on yesterday
its sad that God dosent exits in the hearts of many any more ….its sad that people rather the foolish and out landish open satainc worship and love of money. This show was of substance and quality and God Bless the creaters and the writers ….they showed what life is really like and through faith in God the unbearable can become bearable….This show will be missed
I hope that this is corrected. I love this show and I hope that it does stay on. I love the cast and Tyler Perry. I was sad last year when I read that the show was being cancelled, but hopefully this will not happen anytime soon.
