Noted playwright and director Tyler Perry has teamed up with Oprah Winfrey to bring you another urban relationship drama featuring beautiful couples involved in complicated relationships, not unlike some of yours.
From press release:
On the heels of OWN‘s popular series “The Haves and the Have Nots” comes Tyler Perry‘s new primetime drama “If Loving You is Wrong,” premiering on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network, Tuesday, September 9 with two back-to-back, one-hour episodes from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/PT.
The season premiere opens in the middle of a torrid affair between neighbors Randal (Eltony Williams, “24”) and Alex (Amanda Clayton, “John Carter“). Randal’s wife Marcie (Heather Hemmens, “Hellcats”) desperately wants children, but Randal’s attention is focused on the wife of his best friend Brad (Aiden Turner, “All My Children”).
Just down the street, divorcee Esperanza (Zulay Henao, “Single Moms Club”) is trying to move on with her life, while keeping a budding relationship with Julius (Octavio Pizano, “East Los High”) a secret from her vindictive ex-husband Edward (Joel Rush, “Days of Our Lives”). Meanwhile, neighbor Kelly (Edwina Findley, “Treme”) longs to marry Travis (Denzel Wells) who is away on a relief mission in Haiti and who has promised to help her raise her 8-year-old son, Justice. Outside of the neighborhood, single mother Natalie (April Parker-Jones, “Jericho”) struggles to raise her children in the inner city. Lushion (Charles Malik Whitfield, “Law and Order”), the father of her son Frank, has returned to town and stepped up to the plate to help. In addition, Natalie grapples with the tough decision whether or not to allow her fourth son, Joey (Matt Cook), to return home once he is released from prison.
Throughout the season, “If Loving You Is Wrong” continues to follow Alex, Kelly, Marcie, Esperanza and Natalie on their quest to find love in the midst of managing very complex lives. For these women, love is an ever-present necessity in spite of the high price that sometimes must be paid.
“If Loving You is Wrong” is produced for OWN by Tyler Perry Studios. It is created, written, directed and executive produced by Tyler Perry.

It was so good. I just so happened to turn after First 48 which was also off the chain.
I’m not really a fan of his art, only because I think he needs to cast better actors and more development in his writing. But I can’t lie, People love his shows. Demand is real y’all.
I like The Have & Have Nots, but I hate how he drags the storyline out.
I think most of us are over Tyler Perry. I am not sure. But that is the feeling I get.

I did not watch, BUT I axed downstairs if anyone watched L.A. Hurr cuz that Naja chick wants her ass beat in the WORST way. And Lisa the barber looks like a mayne, um, but I like huh!
I like the Haves, but that’s his onliest TV show I like. His movies — meh
I like the Haves too @Summer. But this is like him taking over TBS a few years back. Over saturated.
Dubb- I am. I love what he’s doing, but his shows be so over the top. Especially the one with Tasha Smith.

It does drag, but it’s ok. I really haven’t missed much. Amanda is more nuts that I thought.

Yes he was. He looked young too. He was married tho. Chick was crazy. Good boys better leave this ghetto girls alone. They not about that life.
I like the Have and Have Nots. It has a soap opera feel. Tika is my girl crush. She is such a cute chocolate thang
I watch The Have and Have Nots for Candace!! She plays the heck out of that role!! Hannah is always extra with the acting… I can’t. Seeing Benny with his shirt off did nothing for me…I mean nothing!! Quincy’s body was banging. Amanda is cray cray for real. The storyline is awesome but the acting…….the scenes just drag on and on!!!
The best thing Tyler could do is get away from his ego and bring some young writers, directors under his wing.
Just wondering if Ophra has even considered working with someone else. Someone else who might have a different perspective/ talent in portraying black culture?
and as long as he and Oprah can gossip about Gail together, he’ll have a place for his shows.
thought the girl in the middle was Cynthia Bailey in white face
