(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?
It’s about time! Been ran out…. story line is horrible and actors are worse!
Yes definitely long overdue
Must be you. This is the best Soap Opera ever . Just too short lived! Bring it back!
PLEASE, PLEASE Don’t cancel the series. Been watching all the episodes!!!!
Give it a couple of week and see how the rating is. I watch it last week but I didn’t know is started a week earlier. I love to see a final exciting ending, so if it’s does end let it end with a bang , just continue extended season 8. I know lots of fans didn’t know it even started. Give it time
PLEASE DO NOT STOP THE SHOW!!!!! I LOVE TJE HAVES AND HAVES NOT I like to binge watch so I usually like to let at lease two episodes build up. I started watching on hulu. But it ended so I was so sick of waiting fpr tje new seasons to arrive that i purchased the OWN Channel. Without the Haves and Haves there’s no need for the channel.
I hate to see it end. I look forward to watching the HAHN’S everyweek. This really saddens me..

I pray that the Haves and the Have Nots do not end it is a wonderful show it makes many of us viewers very happy we can’t wait for Tuesday’s to come to watch it please don’t end it it’s an excellent show and I don’t understand why the ratings should be low we love it please don’t end the show please do a season 9
I love the Haves and the Have Nots and I hate to see it is going to end but it had its long-run and personally I think it’s getting a little bit corny. it was like wonderful in the beginning but it’s going down the show is self is . if Tyler Perry could be consistent in the storylines that he writes maybe it could be a little better. Right now it’s all over the place
I agree with Angie.
I’m still waiting on the DA to solve Amanda’s murder!!??!
Too many cliff hangers…..also true of If loving you is wrong
