(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?
I love that dysfunctional cat of families. Candis is a total joke. To real to be true. Take her out and let the show roll on. Everyone else can make it. Oh keep the other fool. Mrs. Harrington, she’s a character worth watching!! Benny should fall in love, get married and father a son to help heal his mother’s heart from the loss of her grandchild. Oh I’m behind though. I don’t know what has taken place since the little boy got killed. Please don’t remove the HAHN
Do not cancel The Haves and The Have Nots please

Thank Goodness..I watched it until it Deteriorated into Plain Garbage..Tyler Perry should know better…The story lines were unbelievable awful. You has to be Drunk or delusional in order to write and direct that…it was promising, until…..WOW…

IT WOULD LEAVE TO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. JUST LIKE IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG. THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE ENDING THIS SERIES. THANK
YOU
Mr. Tyler Perry PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL HAVS AND HAVE NOTS there is nothing else I prefer to watch NOTHING
Loved the show from the beginning and still watching but have to watch on Youtube because my finances won’t permit me to keep the OWN channel. I wonder how many others have to watch this way. I wish these kind of viws were counted also.
That is right, did they take those type of viewers into account, before they decide to end the show. I had to watch on YouTube because I could not afford OWN anymore through cable. They should reconsider.
More Have and Have Nots please
I have enjoyed the HAHN since season one Please continue don’t cancel i got this cable network because of the HAHN
Please keep the show going! I been a fan from the very first episode!
Noooo Do Not and I repeat DO NOT cancel HAHN! I lose my mind waiting on the new season but it’s always worth the wait. I gain my sanity when it finally comes back on. Manes me feel whole again! We want season 9!!!
Have been looking at this show from day one. Please do not cancel this show. Me and I’m sure many others are really into this series and look forward to it every week.
I love the HAHN but it’s had a long run and I think the writers don’t know what direction to go in next. It’s not as good as it use to be . Characters are repeating the same story lines and it’s getting boring. The show had a wonderful run and now it’s time to end it and hopefully with an awesome finale
