(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?
Don’t take the best show ever!!!!!
I Love the Have and Have Nots please don’t cancel it.
No it’s the best on Tv yet!! The way it’s played is why it’s lost ratings. If the have and have nots is cancelled I will no longer be watching OWN TV!! Tyler Perry has let Madea go now the Have Nots it’s really to upsetting to even think about!!
It’s time to go. Had enough of the kindergarten dialogue!
I am not really upset, because I would like to see more shows that show Black AFO American women in a better light. Then being a maid, and a black woman selling her body for money. I don’t think putting us black woman in these roles helps us. It’s sad really most of his shows are about how sexual black woman are. It’s sickening to say the less. I’m happy it’s ending He needs to write better roles for black woman. it’s like he thinks so low of us, it shows in this show anyway and I’m not alone.
It’s because when someone dont have cable you cant get Own not like bet you can subscribe to the app
I love have and have nots don’t want it to end
No, No I need this, I enjoy The Have and Have anNot so much… It has to come back… Please , please Please
I loved the show but lost interest due to the way the way each season ran. It was not consistent and I lost track of when it began and ended.
Ya know many of us “older, women love the “Haves and Haves Not” and “If Loving you
Is Wrong” why would y’all stop shows the older generation loves? Its our Soap Opra.
Mr. Tyler Perry I dont feel your being fair to the older generation! Oprah Winfrey, why would you let him do this to the older generation. I am so disappointed.
Too many infinished episodes. Glad it’s ending!!
I would have continued looking at it but the show moves so slow. Same thing every week got boring. Jim still n hospital. katherine n jail,their son still on drugs.each episode needs to move faster. Did enjoy at first. His other shows were also like that.
We need to keep this show going!!! Please………
I love HAHN the characters and storyline will be missed.
I’ve been watching them since it 1st started please don’t leave us hanging in the end
I have enjoyed The Haves and the Have Nots It has truly been a great experience for me I’ve learned a lot from the Craters Exspecialy Miss Tika Sumpter I would hate for it to End God bless the show all Of the cast and Mr. Perry also
Have and Have Nots has been an exciting adventure for me personally. The problem has been that season breaks confuse the whereabouts of who is who and where they are at present. Though it is not a perfectly directed series, I find it to be as lifelike as any person not in that class would imagine that lifestyle to be. I love the series, but I myself being in the poverty level of life cannot always pay a network such as the OWN channel to watch it. I watch it on U-Tube where I to us po folk.watch 3-4, maybe… Read more »
