In the interview, Houston revealed The Haves and the Have Nots has already been renewed for a ninth season by OWN. The show is currently in its sixth season and according to Houston, seasons seven and eight have already been shot:

In two weeks we’re going back for season 9. We’re like the NCIS of melodrama. It keeps going, and it’s still a hit on OWN, and it is such a blessing. What it’s really a testament of, I think, is the cast, because we’re so close.

OWN has yet to confirm the renewal.
