Tyler Perry’s The Haves and the Have Nots (2025) marks a dramatic return to the world of Savannah’s elite and the underprivileged, picking up after the explosive events of the previous season. The Cryer family, once at the pinnacle of power, faces ruin as new evidence surfaces implicating them in a decades-old cover-up. Veronica Harrington, presumed dead, resurfaces with a vengeance, orchestrating a series of betrayals that pit old allies against each other. Meanwhile, Hanna Young, now financially secure, struggles with her conscience as she’s drawn back into the Cryers’ orbit to protect her grandchildren from a new threat.
The season’s central arc revolves around a high-stakes legal battle over the Cryer estate, with Wyatt’s unexpected return from rehab complicating matters. Candace Young, having turned over a new leaf, is forced to confront her past when a mysterious figure from her days as a con artist arrives in Savannah, threatening to expose secrets that could destroy her newfound peace. The Malones, ever the wild card, expand their criminal empire, drawing the Harringtons and Youngs into a dangerous game of alliances and betrayals.
The finale delivers a shocking twist: a fire at the Cryer mansion leaves the fate of several main characters uncertain, while Veronica’s final move sets the stage for a new power struggle in Savannah. The season ends with Hanna standing over the ruins, determined to break the cycle of corruption and violence for good.
