(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?
Please let the series go to at least 9 or 10. You ended if loving you was wrong too early These are good soap opera. Come on. Greenleaf gone. Smh trust. Its more to give!!
I hate it when they took Greenleaf off. I think it is the writer’s fault because if daytime soaps can stay on from as far back as I can remember, and that is when I was a young kid and now I am well up in age, and the daytime soaps are still on. Nighttime soaps are lucky that they last 10 seasons. I hate that these fine shows have to end in the way they are ending because the writers can’t be creative enough to know when a story line has to end or make a new beginning. HATE… Read more »
I absolutely love that show and consider it to be Mr. Perry’s best. I will be greatly disappointed if there is no season 9.
Please do not cancel the show I love watching it
I love the show too and I will be sad that it’s ending. The Have and The Have Not’s is my favorite show on TV and I would love to watch more seasons. Please don’t take it off the air.
I agree! A huge DISSAPOINTMENT. I’ve waited to long to get turned down. Have to lose my favorite time on tv.
I am so sorry to hear that the show will not air a season nine but one things I want to happen , David gets his revenge on Veronica and Catherine outsmart the Malone
I’m sorry to see the show leave after this season. I have been a fan since the first season. I would say that Tyler Perry and this show helped to save the p own network. Own now have too many realty shows. I only watch this show,The have and The have have Nots,is the only show I watch on OWN now.

TAKE THE SHOW OFF THE AIR
The reason the ratings has dropped is due to the change in networks. We watched it faithfully before it was moved to OWN. Most people now stream and don’t have cable. We use WIFI for Hulu, Hulu TV, Disney+, Apple, ESPN+, Netflix, etc. Eecan no longer Getz The Have & Have Nots on OWN. You must sign up for cable, and most people now Do not have cable and don’t want it. An added expense in today’s world people can’t afford & don’t use. We loved the show, and a lot of my friends do also but can no longer… Read more »

I simply love this show. I get excited when I know it’s coming on. Of course I record it so I don’t miss a minute. I truly hope it does not end. Not sure what I would watch if this is no longer Aired. I love love love this show.
Please do a Season 9, I love The Have and the Have Nots. I want see Hannah rise to the top and take on those Accounts that tried to undermine her and bring them diwn, her and Marty. I also want to see Candace and Charles get back together and have a baby in the White House. I want to see Veronica’s maid take her down.
We NEED a 9th, 10th, 11th, etc. season. Period.
I’m very upset and disappointed about this. This is my favorite show and a lot of fans are going to be upset.
I love this show Tyler don’t end this i feel your have more viewers if it’s on regular tv network some people can’t afford cable.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the “sexual” scenes it IS an adult NIGHT TIME Soap Opera! The “day time” Soap Operas stay on for EONS…talking, doing the same scandalous things & you can skip watching for a couple of months come back & they’re STILL on the SAME thang! So in all that….KEEP THE HAHN❤
