One Tyler Perry show is ending, one is just beginning and another is returning.
OWN announced this week that If Loving You Is Wrong will end following the fifth season, which premieres on March 10 at 10 p.m. The show chronicled the lives of neighborhood friends and enemies. In the promos to the final season, OWN promises the show will reveal “some long-awaited answers to viewers’ burning questions” and will include “life-changing catastrophes that will leave the town reeling and changed forever.”
After the show ends, The Haves and the Have Nots will be Perry’s only remaining series on OWN, according to Deadline.
