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?

Agreed!
I love House of Payne. I dont want the show to end. I dont really care for the show For Better or Worst.
If any show has to end, it should be “For Better or Worse”. It’s just a soap opera that wants to imitate “The Game” and it’s not funny.
I’m so happy because I hated the way house of payne just stop&i pray they really don’t cancel the show,I’m glad2see it back up&going,I hope it keep going!I love the show
keep the show come me and my mom love it and like it so pls dont stop the show keep on tv plz we dont what it to ead so pls keep on tv plz
I am glad calvin is going to be okay I hope the house of paynes don’t go off the air because I love that it makes me laugh everytime I watch that show so I hope it don’t go off the air
I love House of Payne. I really don’t want to see the show end. I wish Tyler Perry would reconsider cancelling the show. Meet The Brown’s cancellantion came as a shock as well. I felt that the characters from that show had more life and that there could have been a lot more stories told. I liked the show For better or For Worse but I felt it may have been lacking something as well. I wish that all of the shows could co-exist. Maybe Oprah will talk to Tyler and they can make a deal to take the show… Read more »
Ditto!!!!!!
I adore this show. Tyler Perry needs to have his own network so he can continue making relevant, interesting and funny shows with real life content. Can anyone tell me what suburb or area of Atlanta the houses are located in?
Glad to know it will still continue to air with calvin not dying i love this show it really makes my day! Thanks Tyler your shows make my day! Or should i call u Madea? lol!
I love this show. It is the only African American program on the air that really shows what the black experience is like. The family has its ups and downs, but it’s real. Everyone can relate to this family and most importantly God is the center of it all! I pray TBS keeps ordering more episodes!
this show had help me and my family in so many ways,i truely love this show ,house of payne is a good family show it touches so many of us in our heart and soul.
I love the show too and don’t want to see it end.
I will truely miss the house of payne God bless u Tyler Perry
i hope the show stays on tv. we do not have any other black shows.
I am a fan of the show. I am glad there are more episodes, but I’m disappointed the show is ending. They dealt with true to life issues that other programs ever touch bases on. I honestly hope that Tyler Perry will decide to go for another season, at least.
You heard me?
Yes i am a fan, and i hate to see the show end, i don’t think for Better or Worse is a very good show, especially not good enough to take HoP off the air, i watched it and was very disappointed, so as much as i love Tyler Perry, i won’t be watching the new show.
