(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.

Please don’t end the show. My entire family just love watching this show. This show is the talk of our family and friends this show gives us the reason to why we stay home in a time like this it makes us forget if only for a hour about what’s going on in this world
It’s a good show about the struggle the black family goes through to have something.
Please RENEW the Have and the have nots . Continue with the Nineth Season . Hi Tyler Perry, I have no experience as an actress but I know I can do this. No money to go to college for anything. Keeping it real ,are you hiring in any area? I am from Chicago looking to do something different from what I have been doing pretty much all my life. Im. Not complaining. I’m just campaigning.
This show is about how a black woman struggled her way out.
Please please please don’t cancel my family absolutely loves this show.
I appreciate the time that Tyler Perry and these favorite stars have committed to this show the “Have and The Have Nots”; but it does not ease my soul at all that I won’t have one of my most loved television shows to watch. I wish you didn’t cancel this show as I am truly going to miss you all.
I live for the haves and have nots all of Tyler’s shows are good and we need them all
Please continue The Haves and Have Nots. All of my co-workers love it and look forward to watching it. So we can share with each other the next day at work. It makes me angry that they keep on all of this/these crazy shows, but want to take off the enjoyable ones.
I think the show needs to reinvent a storyline. Not everything is about sex all the time.
Enjoyed every minute of the show especially John Schneider who did a wonderful job of acting.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THE SHOW LOVE THIS!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL
I love this show and can hardly wait for the next week’s episode. This is one of Tyler Perry’s best creations! We bond with our family and friends over your shows Tyler. It gives us something to laugh and talk about. We’re on three and four-way phone calls watching the episodes together and commenting. This is a really good show! Thanks for another great one!
