Tyler Perry’s Sistas | Season 8 Is The LOWEST Rated Season In The Entire Series!
Tyler Perry’s Sistas Hits a New Low: Season 8 Finale Becomes the Lowest-Rated Episode in Series History
Before diving in, let me clarify—this is not meant to be a negative review. I’m simply reporting the facts based on sources like TVSeriesFinale.com, which tracks TV ratings extensively.
The Sistas Season 8 finale ratings were released earlier than usual, and unfortunately, the numbers are not good. In fact, the Season 8 finale has officially become the lowest-rated season finale in the show’s history, pulling in a dismal 0.699 rating. That’s shocking. Even worse? Season 8 as a whole now holds the title of the lowest-rated season of Sistas to date.
A Steady Decline in Ratings
If you’re wondering how this happened, it’s not surprising. This season contained some of the lowest-rated episodes ever, including one that hit an abysmal 0.52. Most episodes hovered in the mid-0.6 range, but overall, Season 8 landed at 0.72—a significant drop compared to previous seasons.
For context, here’s how past seasons performed:
- Season 1: 0.889 (previously the lowest-rated season)
- Seasons 2 & 3: 0.94
- Seasons 4, 5 & 6: 0.98
- Season 6: 0.96 (slight decline)
- Season 7: 0.91 (the first season with new writers)
- Season 8: 0.72 (a nearly 20% decline from its peak)
What Went Wrong?
A significant drop like this isn’t random. Many fans were vocal about their dissatisfaction with Season 8, citing weak storylines, inconsistent character arcs, and questionable writing decisions. Even when Sistas was at its peak, audience engagement was often fueled by frustration rather than praise. Remember how Season 7 was hyped for having the “highest social media engagement”? That was largely because viewers were venting about how bad the season was.
Season 8 was supposed to turn things around. Instead, it seems the damage might already be done. Even if the writers try to “fix” things—like confirming Zach isn’t the father of Fatima’s baby—it may be too little, too late. Many fans have already tuned out, choosing to invest their time in better-written shows.
Can Sistas Recover in Season 9?
This upcoming season is critical. If Sistas doesn’t deliver a major turnaround, the series could be in serious trouble. Production for Season 9 begins in less than 10 days, so the pressure is on for Tyler Perry and his team to get it right.
One key sign of improvement? Promotion. If the cast and crew actively promote Season 9—unlike the latter half of Season 7, when they barely mentioned it due to backlash—that could indicate a positive shift behind the scenes.
Final Thoughts
A 12% drop between Episode 21 and the finale is staggering. While some fans enjoyed the ending, the numbers speak for themselves—Sistas is losing its audience fast.
