Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots
“Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots” concluded its run with its eighth and final season, which premiered on June 1, 2021, on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). As of March 2025, there have been no announcements regarding a new season or a return of the series.
The series, which debuted in May 2013, was OWN’s first scripted drama and became one of its highest-rated shows. It explored the complex dynamics between the wealthy Cryer and Harrington families and their domestic staff, delving into themes of power, privilege, and morality. Over its eight-season run, the show produced 196 episodes, consistently ranking among the top scripted cable series among African American women and total viewers.
The final season promised a dramatic conclusion, with the affluent residents of Savannah, Georgia, facing the repercussions of their unchecked personal flaws. OWN described the concluding episodes as a “true-to-life Greek tragedy,” highlighting the downfall of Judge Jim Cryer (John Schneider) and his circle as they confronted the consequences of their actions.
Oprah Winfrey, reflecting on the series’ impact, stated, “The Haves and the Have Nots was the first scripted drama we aired on OWN, and to say it took off from the first day it hit the air is an understatement.” She credited the show’s success to Tyler Perry’s creativity and expressed gratitude to the cast, crew, and viewers who engaged with the series over the years.
While the series has concluded, fans can revisit the drama and intricate storytelling through reruns and streaming platforms that offer the show. As of now, there are no plans for a revival or continuation of “The Haves and the Have Nots.”
