OWN has decided to cancel Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots. There's not going to be a ninth season of the American drama series.



The eighth season of Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots has been placed on hiatus till May. Starting from then, the final eight episodes of the eighth season - and also the final episodes of the series - will air on the Oprah Winfrey Network. OWN has decided to cancel the series with its current season, which means that there's not going to be a ninth season.

Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots premiered back in 2013. It was the first scripted series to air at OWN. When the final episode airs later this year, the series has had 196 episodes in total. The story in the series revolves around the dynamics between the rich Cryer family and the poor family of Hanna, their housekeeper. Obstacles and secrets have been part of both families for years.
