TV series adaptation

The play was very loosely adapted into The Haves and the Have Nots on the OWN television station. Apart from featuring the lives of a wealthy family and poor-class one, the series significantly differed from the play. The series featured entirely new fictional characters, situations and cast. The television series quickly became one of OWN's most popular programs, pioneering scripted entertainment for that network. The show ran for 8 seasons from May 28, 2013 to July 20, 2021, on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
