PARAMOUNT+ WITH SHOWTIME(R) RELEASES THE OFFICIAL TRAILER AND KEY ART FOR "THE CHI"
Hit Drama Series' Highly Anticipated Sixth Season Returns, Streaming May 10 on the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME (R) Plan
Ahead of Its On-Air Debut May 12
April 18, 2024 - Paramount+ with SHOWTIME today released the official trailer and key art for the upcoming second half of season six of the hit SHOWTIME Original series THE CHI, which will return on Friday, May 10 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME(R) plan, before making its on-air debut on Sunday, May 12, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The series recently wrapped production in Chicago on the remaining eight episodes of the supersized 16-episode season.
Created and executive produced by Emmy(R) winner Lena Waithe (Twenties, Master of None) under her Hillman Grad banner and executive produced by Academy Award(R) and Emmy winner Common (Selma), THE CHI is a timely coming-of-age story centering on a group of residents on the South Side of Chicago who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption. Produced entirely in its namesake city, THE CHI is produced by 20th Television.
The record-breaking season-six premiere, which ranks among the top SHOWTIME premieres ever in streaming viewership, kicked off a season that careened between the highest highs and lowest lows. This season, Emmett (Jacob Latimore) and Kiesha's (Birgundi Baker) blissful blended union is tested by his perilous partnership with Douda, (Curtiss Cook), who is dealing with the fallout of Q's murder and its effect on the shifting loyalty of his inner circle. Victor's (Luke James) tangled past impacts his new role as city councilman. Newlyweds Jada (Yolonda Ross) and Darnell (Rolando Boyce) fear for son Emmett after he makes a desperate, life-threatening move. Rob (Iman Shumpert) and Tiff's (Hannaha Hall) cannabis business and Jake's (Michael V. Epps) apparel line take off, while Papa (Shamon Brown Jr.) is still struggling with the senseless loss of his beloved father. Maisha (Genesis Denise Hale) fights for her own big career move in spite of manager Jemma's (Judae'a Brown) newly divided attentions. But danger lies in wait... no one is safe and everyone will be tested as never before over the course of the sixth season's shocking last eight episodes.
Along with Waithe and Common, the series is executive produced by Aaron Kaplan (A Million Little Things, The Neighborhood), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Derek Dudley and Shelby Stone of ID8 Multimedia, and Rishi Rajani, CEO of Hillman Grad. Executive Producers Justin Hillian and Jewel Coronel are co-showrunners for season six. Co-executive producers include Naomi Funabashi, who oversees for Hillman Grad, and Resheida Brady. Producers Deondray Gossfield and Quincy LeNear Gossfield are set to direct multiple episodes in season six.
