(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 would not want to see HAHN canceled. I would like to see some of the issues resolved without without everyone shooting and killing each other . Like the last series that ended on OWN…
NOOOO!!!! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!! I LOVE EVERYONE BUT I LOVE LOVE VERONICA!!!
Love it plain and simple!
I would hate hate hate to have this show cancelled! It’s definitely my favorite!
Please don’t take it away, it’s the best show ever!
To whom it may concern Attention DO NOT CANCEL THAHN THE SHOW IS MID CRISIS AND RESTORATION PROCESS. Wyatt need a real epiphany and turn from addiction (A ISIT FROM JESUS CHRIST &&& A DRUG & ALCOHOL LIVE IN Program) Kandis Needs to Marry The President elect Kathryn must put Mamma Malonè in check &&&&&&&& Veronica must be broken (Br’ah Tyler BREAK HER OFF SOME CHAISETISNMENT AND TEACH HER HUMILITY) ___Sign, Reverend J.R.Hall P.S. Mr.Perry, Please Check My Music Out On Utube::: *JESUS CAME JUST IN TIME* ( My Personal Recovery Testimony) *PEOPLE* *FEAR NOT THAT YOU WALK ALONE* _Rev.… Read more »
What this series needs is consistency. Fans would be loyal if given a reason. Stop dragging out storyline. It should not take three shows for Wyatt to try to commit suicide. I lose interest.

I am disappointed the show is coming to an end but I am tired of Veronicas character it is too unreal. And Jim too I mean I like some feisty in them but they just seem unstoppable like everything and everyone belongs to them. I just some changes need to be made
I definitely agree. I started thinking that a few episodes ago.
I am very disappointed to hear the show is ending!
Please don’t cancel this series. It was the best of all for me. Television won’t be the same without it.
So very disappointed… watched from the beginning… and am left hanging… maybe one final show to make it a finale
This is one of my favorite shows when I tell you I love Veronica Harrington I so love her . I will miss this show I hope you guys decide to come back in 2021 but I guess I have to see what episode 8 has to offer the ending must be really good for you guys not to be coming back in 2021
