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 love the show . IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG. It’s hard for me to wait between episodes. Can’t imagine how it’s going to end. Too many issues are unsolved in the neighborhood. I’d love for the series to be continued for at least three more seasons. Too many characters need reprimand. Besides, they also need jobs. Please don’t end the show. Please!
Please continue If loving you is wrong!!!
This is a great show…. we, my neighborhood
Loves this show… The very best show that Tyler Perry has written
Don’t take If Loving You Is Wrong off the Air. I really enjoy the series. I’ve been watching it from day one. There are a couple of bad actresses but nothings perfect.
I am a fan. Please Reconsider & do not cancel. There are 2 shows that I do not miss. If Loving You Is Wrong & The Have & Have Nots. I have Never Missed one of the shows. It saddens my heart to even think about it ending. I love the Own channel but Tyler Perry if you can continue it on another, that would be Wonderful. Please don’t do this to us/ your fans that love this show so much. Please Continue the show some where , somehow. To one out of the 200 + programs that I pay… Read more »

I love if loving you is wrong. I wish it will stay on the air. Best drama ever
Yes I would watch a sixth season. Every season the show gets better. Sad that it’s been cancelled. I want more please ! ! !
Own starting that reality junk. Pretty soon
She will start begging again. I never watched OWN before Tyler brought his shows in. They was a hit at the beginning, but he started messing up. Personally this was last year anyway. For all of his shows.
The show is good but Tyler needs to trust other writers. He fills up pages of script with “Are you sure?” or “I know”. How many times does he have characters say that? It’s annoying!! Get other writers!! You’re running out of words!!! Also, he has characters always talking to each other on the phone instead of them interacting face-to-face. Why??
I think this is bad decision If loving you is wrong is much much more interesting n people can relate to the show! I hope another TV channel such as BET or TV one add If loving is you wrong to their line up! This is depressing and sad that they’re ending the show!
I absolutely love the drama
I think this show is the greatest show yet interesting drama…I love this show..I don’t want it to end.
I love this Show. Along with have and have nots. Why cant Tyler just move it to Bet!!. Is 2 hit series Sista and Oval are Great!! Loving you is Wrong would fit in Great on Bet. Please dont end it!!
