(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?
The show started off well. Now its horrible with bad acting and horrible story lines
Thank you, you’re right, on the same thing too long Katherine still in jail.
Please keep the show going we already don’t have a lot of good shows Please keep the have n have nots don’t give up. Love you all!!! Veronica rocks!!
I have enjoyed ” The Have and Have Nots”. When it ends, I ‘ll
find something else to watch.
Sweet C. The show became unpredictable and all over the place. It started off good and now its horrible
Terrible acting and story lines. So sorry
I always liked that’s there was so much going on. That’s what made it so great. NEVER A DULL MOMENT! The hour went too fast.
I will have to agree the last time I watched it was all over the place.
Well, I enjoyed it up to this season. I love the show don’t get me wrong but it’s not like all the other seasons. Do I want to see it end? No, I don’t but there needs to be more action in it (some parts are being dragged alone too long). Example: Catherine still in jail and Jim still in the hospital and let’s not talk about Veronica needs her punishment.
It’s a very good show, I wish that they wouldn’t shut it down, all of my friends love it
I love the show but it do need a great ending
I truly hate to see The Haves and Have Nots end. Please reconsider Tyler.
Not ready for it to be over but some think it needs a twist to grab their eye again
Please don’t take of have and have not put Candice and president-elec together and bring back if loving you is wrong
Please don’t take the haves and have not off air! And bring If Loving you is wrong back!
You really would want an ex ***** in the White House? You see what it’s been like ex porn star in there!
Candace can be a role model for all ex***** in the White House. She could be the next Princess Di for the White House excusing the openness. We need some people that was at the bottom to later be very good role model for others in the future. People need something to look forward to.
Yes! There’s so many loose ends. So much writing left to do. These characters have lives we’ve been put on hold over. So much left to give us. Mom in bed with young ones! Wow! Way too much to leave us on a cliff!
I agree that Candice and President-Elect together will be Awesome, because they both really like each other. Yes I loved ILYWW especially Angela
Please don’t take The Have And have Nots off. I look forward to seeing my show on Tuesday nights. I aslo would love for If Loving You is Wrong to come back on, these are some awesome shows to watch. TV is getting boring, everytime something good starts they takes it off.
Noooooooooooooo!
I hate the show is coming to an end. I have watch since season 1. However, I noticed that the episodes are now drawn out, actors repeating same questions and answers to the questions being repeated. There is no fire and momentum in the new episodes. I used to be glued to the TV as to not miss anything. Now, I just record an episode and when it starts to get boring with repeativeness I just fast forward to make it through the episode. I wish it would be a season nine but dynamic like season 2.
Plz don’t cancel Have & Have Nots .I’ve been watching this show since day one.Looking forward to continue watching it. M
love have and have nots. veronica sassy, Kathryn needs to get out of jail. she’s more fun in public. she could do a Kardashian after she gets out to get some jail gals released. wyatt needs rehab with some success to get viewers to try the same. hannah needs to find good true love instead of being constantly betrayed. candice could get with president and use it for a platform of some kind. Jeffrey has boyfriend choices. every body love him. jim cryer could get caught in some set up by big mama
I need more Have and Have Nots.
Yes I will missed watching the shoe. That,a my favorite show.
