(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?
No. I think it should cancel. It’s not interesting
Anymore.Keep going in circles. You can almost predict the outcome.
It just drags on and on by time the finale come its like who cares. Even finale is not good. It’s
just regular show.
New characters in shows. Their role has no meaning. Just like its thrown together.
All over place show.
Love Tyler Perry and his big heart, a very compassionate man.
But i think he has too many projects going on and shows in some of his shows
Please don’t end. I live for my Tuesday fix.

Yes there definitely should be another season!
Glad to see it go since Veronica gets away with so much stuff. I enjoyed the show, but now it’s just dragging on.
Get rid of Veronica or give her a good pay back for all her dirt to people and the show can go on.
I really enjoy watching the series. I initially thought it a soap opera that was viewed at night and it was corny, but it grabbed my attention every week and I was hooked. Season after season my fiancé and I watch with great interest wondering who is finally going to get Veronica Harrington lol, yeah I will be sad to see it go
I do not want thr have and have nots to cancell this is a great show i will miss it reconsider taking this show off thr air.
I ENJOY WATCHING HAHN I DON’T WANT IT TO END. MY MOTHER AND I BECAME CLOSE AGAIN THROUGH WATCHING THIS SHOW. HAHN PLEASE DON’T GO!!!!!!
I love the HAHN. It seems as soon as I start loving a show, it ends. They need to give the show a chance because with the COVID, a lot of people are at home and they are watching TV and I believe that could change the ratings. If they decide to end it. Please dont leave me in limbo. Make it a true ending. I hate to see it go.
Omg they cannot Cancel the show I look forward to watching the show every week please please do not cancel the show I need to know what’s going to happen to mama Rose And Catherine We need Veronica to get busted in the police go in and arrest her and let everybody know what kind of pass she really had

I love this movie every Tuesday night I watch please do not end it
Tyler: If you get to see this review please don’t cancel HAHN! I so look forward to watching this show; I am devastated that you called it quits on If Loving You is Wrong. It left so many unanswered questions and it really could have gone on to the final court episode drama that would have been the showstopper! You should reconsider being it back because I for one would like to know ‘Where’s Andrew’??? And will Alex be convicted for Randles death, and will Marcy finally find happiness with Brad and the children. And to see Natalie and Lucian… Read more »
