(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?
Please don’t stopHAHN this was a neighborhood enjoyment
I have been a ‘Have and Have Not watcher since season one. Please dont’t end it. I was very disappointed when ‘Living You is Wrong’ ended as well as ‘Too Close To Home’.
Please do not cancel this series as it contains several talented actors, a nice ongoing story line and a great future; due to super script writers and sound filming.
Maybe one thing If the show did not move at a snail’s pace the audience would have stayed with him. But it just drags so slow. Maybe one thing happens per episode. Maybe!!!?? The characters are bored. So what does TP do??…brings in even more characters, who by the way…can’t act!!! Use the good ones you have.
If they’re going to end it,PLEASE tie up all the hundreds of loose ends out there.
Thank you!!!

I am Not happy about what ai just read. I look forward to Tuesday night drama. Why does it have to end? Why? Don’t cancel the show!
I love the Haves and the Have Nots. Please do not cancel. I think it is a generational thing. Baby Boomers love it. Perhaps the ratings are dropping because of the schedule. Folks never know, are confused, when a season starts and season ends.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW.
Yes it needs to be cancelled. I stop watching at season 6 or 7 when Veronica hurt David. And cause that child to kill herself. She had to much going on and was getting away with it. I just lost interest in the show. Candace did her mess as well and gets away with it. The show wasn’t interesting to me anymore.
I really love this show. I was always anxious to see the next episode please do not let this go
Love H&H don’t cancel
