It’s the beginning of the end for If Loving You Is Wrong on OWN. The cable channel has announced that the show has been renewed and the fifth season of the drama series will debut on Tuesday, March 10th, at 10:00 PM. The renewal comes as no surprise as stars of the series have said they’d already filmed episodes beyond season four.
OWN also revealed that there won’t be a sixth season since season five will mark the end of the series. It’s unclear how many episodes are left for If Loving You Is Wrong as the past seasons’ length has been inconsistent, ranging from 42 episodes (season one) to eight episodes (season four). Stars have celebrated filming 100 episodes so the fifth season will have at least 12 installments.
*Update: OWN later changed the fifth season premiere date to March 31, 2020.

What do you think? Are you a fan of If Loving You Is Wrong on OWN? Should season five be the end? Would you have watched a sixth season?
I’m so upset!!! I loved that show!!!! I was hooked the first show
I have been waiting FOREVER for it to return, and HATE that it’s ending! I watched “The Oval” and it’s not nearly as interesting. I won’t be watching a 2nd season of it. I sure wish you’d change your minds on this….
Please don’t end I love this show!!!
Is season 4 coming to Hulu? If so, when? My bf actually got me into the show and I was hooked from the get go!!
Yes I would watch a 6th season. Sorry to hear it coming to an end.
Yes most definitely!!! If Loving You is Wrong is one of Tylers first major master piece and we all have been hoping for more!!!!! Please find a way to continue!!! Blessings!!!
Yes I would definitely.watch another sesson I’m hooked. And have been from.the very.first season

YES! YES! YES! I would rather watch this show than AMBITIONS!!!! GREENLEAF!!!! You FINALLY GET SOMETHING ON TO WATCH and then you REMOVE IT!!! OWN and TYLER PERRY should RETHINK THIS, PLEASE!! A message to TP – How many African Americans do you think can afford to subscribe to BET+? Cable alone cost more than most can afford and you go and develop ANOTHER BLACK TV ENTERTAINMENT STATION that we, as AA, can’t enjoy watching up and coming entertainers. The same for NETFLIX- The Fall From Grace. Cable already charges extra for Urban Culture station and you add your NEW… Read more »
Wow that’s crazy it’s been off the air for God knows how long and now they’re bringing it back to finish it up smh ♀️
I’m glad there bringing it back though I wish they wouldn’t eliminated good show
I love the series and the people good job
Oh my God I’m a big big fan just to hear it’s about to end breaks my heart.i can’t hardly wait for it to come back on. I would definitely watch it a six season please keep it on I watch it religiously thanks.
Would definitely watch season 6 If Loving You was my guilty pleasure I looked forward to seeing something crazy every week and I loved the cast ,each one an interesting character on their own Hope all loose ends are tied up this final season
I really enjoy If Loving You is Wrong. But I Do think that the storyline of Alex baby daddy has dragged a little long. The baby should have grown and a holiday or two should have come and gone. The show has been on since 2014 and no holidays. But I would watch additional seasons. Please continue to make more.
Watching some of my favorite shows get cancelled like Ambitions and If Loving You Is Wrong from OWN, is disheartening and disappointing… Now there are only 3 shows that I watch on OWN, The Haves and the Have Nots, Greenleaf, and Queen Sugar…cancelling Ambitions and If Loving You Is Wrong is the wrong move!!!
I love the series and the people
Yes Wrong wrong wrong.
I love If Loving You is Wrong. Yes I would watch a 6th season as well as a 7th and beyond. I hate even thinking about it ending. I certainly hope you reconsider this.
