(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 show not everyone can afford cable TV I just had to cancel my cable could not afford it anymore put it on regular tv I think it will do better
I love this show been watching every since it came on the cast’s in so great I just hate to see another one of Tyler Perry show go t wish there was something that the watchers could do I guess all good shows come to a end.
Please do not cancel the HAHN!!! I’ve watched it since day one and literally can’t wait for Tuesday night to roll around to watch it! It’s better than the daytime soaps! All the characters are awesome.
Don’t cancel noone i can’t stop watching the show love it all
I have watched from day 1, love the show and Tyler’s other shows that have been çancelled. What will the fans watch now!!! Pray that all goes well…
I love the Haves and Have Nots!! Can someone please reconsider!!
I’ve been watching HAHN since it started. Every season every episode. I must say that this season has started out kind of boring. It’s like dragging. I still watch and will continue to do so till the last episode. Like they say nothing lasts forever.
I love this show .I be looking forward to watch it on Tuesday nights.It was 1 of Tyler Perry shows that was good very interesting and knock you off your feet .It was the last show out the old ones he took off air replacing these new ones .Don’t get me wrong sistas and the oval good,but it’s not better than the haves and the haves nots. I’m going to miss candace and veronica .
Please don’t cancel the show. I hope Veronica gets what’s coming to her.
I agree Veronica needs to get just what she deserves from the way she treats people
I really hope Veronica gets hers, she is the meanest woman I have ever seen and she always win. Let her lose and have a great loss.
I’m very saddened to hear that Tyler Perry is canceling the Haves and the Haves nots. It’s at the top of my viewing list over everything. The entire cast is so talented & amazing, it’s obvious that he chose them carefully for each part. My other favorites were Love Thy Neighbor. Of which kept my facial muscles in shape with laughter. Then If Loving you is wrong was very good too. So, it’s going me be tough seeing this one go as well. I will miss this so much.
Please don’t cancel this show. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.
I hope Veronica gets whats coming to her. Please don’t cancel the show!
I like the show I’ll be sad too see it go
Don’t like the show anymore, in the beginning it the best show on tv, but now the new direction that the show is going, just trash.
Love the show❤
PLEASE cancel. To much going on, getting to be boring.
Please do not cancel this show. This is the only that myself and my husband enjoy together besides movie’s.
Team Veronica
Oh no!! I love have or have nots! It’s a crazy adult soap. I’m 51. I love seeing John Schneider! Tyler perry is such a great writer. I’ve also watched if loving you is wrong, and was so annoyed by the way that ended. I’m now watching the oval and it does not hold a candle to the half or have Nots. The show was fantastic with its cliffhangers. I’ve been watchEd them on Hulu, then once I was caught up found them on OWN. We’re in a pandemic, please don’t take away the show. There’s so little fun adult… Read more »
