(OWN)
The eighth season of The Haves and the Have Nots just kicked off on OWN this week. While the series hasn’t been cancelled, it seems like the Tyler Perry drama is coming to an end in 2021 and won’t have a ninth season.
Airing on Tuesday nights, The Haves and the Have Nots stars John Schneider, Tika Sumpter, Angela Robinson, Renee Lawless, Crystal Fox, Peter Parros, Tyler Lepley, Gavin Houston, and Aaron O’Connell. The drama centers on the complicated dynamic between the Cryer, Harrington, and Young families of Savannah, Georgia. In season eight of this drama series, Judge Cryer (Schneider) and his rich friends are all finding out what happens when personal flaws go unchecked. Karma has not been kind to the elite one-percenters.
The eighth season of The Haves and the Have Nots currently averages a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 873,000 viewers. Compared to season seven, that’s down by 60% in the demo and down by 34% in viewership. The series was once the cable channel’s highest-rated show but the premiere’s numbers put it much closer to the bottom of the list. Is it time for the show to end?
New York Post recently ran a profile about Robinson under the title “Haves and Have Nots star breaks down its final season”. The article goes on to confirms that the series is ending by noting “It kicks off its final season Tuesday at 8 p.m. on the cable network.” and “Robinson tells fans to expect the final season of The Haves and Have Nots to be an emotional rollercoaster.”
But wait, hasn’t the cast already filmed a ninth season? Maybe not.
In 2019, Houston said that he was about to start filming the ninth season of the series. The season lengths for this series have been very inconsistent — ranging from nine to 44 episodes a season — so, OWN could have changed their plans about how the episodes would be grouped.
OWN has been quiet about the show’s immediate future. However, Perry’s other shows on the channel have already ended. In 2017, Perry signed a deal to produce 90 episodes of television each year for ViacomCBS outlets (including BET and BET+) so that’s been keeping him very busy.
It’s unclear how many episodes in season eight but hopefully, The Haves and the Have Nots will have a satisfying conclusion.
What do you think? Do you enjoy The Haves and the Have Nots TV show? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a ninth season?
Good, and good riddance! The show use to be a exciting, I couldn’t wait for the season to start, and every episode to begin. Now I could care less if I miss an episode or two. Tyler Perry shows are starting to get quite boring with no substance. That is usually what happens when you spread yourself too thin, and try to wear too many hats! No one person can carry the weight of being the chef, cook and pot washer on a consistent basis!
Oprah is taking all of Tyler Perry shows off her channel .What up with that?
I’ve enjoyed all of HAHN would love to see Hannah happy with a good man. Will miss the show but would love if he really finished if loving you is wrong
Please don’t take Haves and the Have Not off love this show so much do season 9
I hope Tyler Perry does a better job of closing story lines than he did with If Loving You Is Wrong.
I was very disappointed in the way they ended If Loving You is Wrong. They didn’t close out some of the story lines and they introduced new characters then ended the show.
I am a huge fan of the Have and Have nots, I would be very unhappy if it was taken off air, I really wish it would be reconsidered before making such a drastic move.
I love the Haves and have nots, I started watching on Hulu but only 1/2 of season 7 was there, so I started watching on daily motion , then OWN, it became more and more difficult to follow, now as a result ratings are down and the fans suffer the consequences, not cool.
Please DO NOT CANCEL #THAHNS”! WE LOVE THIS SHOW Also, BRING BACK “IF LOVING YOU…” the show ENDED HORRIBLY for such a TREMENDOUS SERIES!!
Please don’t end The & iThe Havenots…….I’ve watched from the start & look forward to each weeks episode. This show is one of the better shows airing on TV.
The plots and writing are not as it was in earlier seasons. There are too many storylines happening with people who have not actively been a part of the series. I’ve lost interest.
It’s really sad to hear that such good show is coming to an end . I have enjoyed “The Haves and The Have Nots” . Please don’t let this show go .Please don’t cancel the show .
They need to do something with Veronica’s character. She is getting away with to much. It is time for her to pay for her deeds.
Noooooo ,, Don’t Stop This Is My Favorite Show !!!! Tyler……Why ♀♀
Nooooooooo PLEASE DO NOT END MY FAVORITE SHOW. IT just can’t happen!!!
I think it is time to end the series ! It is not as goo as it used to be ! I have enjoyed watch all of the shows ! But it is time for Veronica to get what she deserves ! I would like to see a happy ending foe Candy and the rest of the Young family !
