(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 think about keeping The Haves And Have Not on this is the best show ever and I look forward to it every week Mr Perry this is one of your best shows and it is loved by many I live in San Bernadino,Ca and my sister in law lives way in Georgia and she is crazy about your show and my whole family please help us
Thank You
I like the show, sometime the characters act kinda slow. All in all it’s a good show. I wouldn’t be mad if ( season 8 ) was the last of the series!
Glad got cancelled love John Shneider from Smallville dc comics,The dukes of hazzard so good never intro soap opera now like it but this tv show never heard it either.
I always enjoyed the show on Tuesdays but became a little bored with it.I didn’t watch this season just too boring.
Please don’t end the show
Please don’t end the show. I’ve watched this show from day one. It’s an AWESOME show. Please reconsider.
Please don’t cancel this amazing show. I so look forward every Tuesday night for my “Have and Have Nots” drama.
I love this show! Please don’t end it! I can’t get enough of it. I look forward every Tuesday night to see it. Please continue the ninth show.
I dont understand why the show has such low ratings. I love the show, and think its one of the best shows on tv. I catch it on every tuesday, i even record it just case i dont get a chance to catch it. I really hate to hear this is the last season. Tv will be losing a great show
love it but make real drama
I just love this show. It’s just that when the season ends I,m not aware when they started the new season and when I find out. I have to catch up on what I had missed because of the break in between seasons but I don’t mind. It’s my best show. So don’t stop the show.
only show worth watching on Tuesday night but make scenes real, like they do in real life
I can’t believe this show is coming to an end. I am surprised about the decline in viewership. However, I think these numbers only reflect viewers in America. This show is very popular in other countries, too. I am living in Jamaica and this show is very popular here. Jamaicans can hardly wait to watch the episodes. It is definitely a hit here. I really appreciate Mr Perry’s efforts.
unreal scenes that look fake. Scenes like jail cell, and the guy going to look for his mother rapist and hitting him and the guy doesn’t fight back.
Im a big fan and no not ready for the season to come to an end. Its so much more conclusion
