(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?

I’m upset as well
Please don’t cancel this show it’s just getting really good love this show been following this show since it started
I enjoy watching weekly. I agree with the hiatus in between shows is too long and too frequent. You have a great cast who are really professionals at their craft. I enjoy this much better than the new shows he’s writing. Consistency is the key!
So sad to see the HAHN come to an end. I love this show. I have been enjoying it from the beginning. I look forward to seeing HAHN, and be anxious for the next weeks show. I was sad to see If Loving You Is Wrong come to an end as well. I love Tyler Perry and his shows. I guess I will have to enjoy the shows that still comes on.
Love this show.
i am sad to here it was canceled. i hope the end it well and not stupid would love to see a season nine but if not they should have katherine be released from prison and show the town how powerful she is. and it should be revealed that mitch is a cryer he looks like wyatt after all that would be a good story line. and they could reveal that katherine and mama rose are sisters.
Please don’t end the series. I have been binge watching the show because I didn’t know it had been on cable. I was hooked and would realize it was 4:30 in the morning!
I’m physically hurt this was my favorite show, Mr. Tyler why are you doing this to one of your fan, I know you wants to move on , I’ve been watching your show from the beginning over on the East coast of Florida and now I live on the West coast of Florida
Don’t in it please don’t in it
Bring it back the black soap Kenneth
Very disappointed that it’s ending always look forward to see what’s going to happen especially with Veronica she is so bad but so good at what she is doing. Hoping there is a change of heart and there is a season nine
