'The Chi' Breaks Viewership Records as Season 7 Hits New Heights

Showtime‘s ‘The Chi’ is proving why it’s one of the network’s crown jewels. The hit drama just delivered its most-streamed episode ever.

Full story below…

The episode pulled in 1.78 million cross-platform viewers within three days, a 23% jump from this season’s average. For context, that’s nearly matching the Season 7 premiere’s 2 million seven-day haul in half the time.

Created by Lena Waithe, ‘The Chi’ continues to dominate, recently surpassing ‘Soul Food’ as the longest-running Black drama on premium cable with its 75th episode. Already renewed for Season 8, the series now ties ‘Dexter’ and ‘Homeland’ and Showtime’s second-longest scripted show, trailing only ‘Shameless’.

Set on Chicago’s South Side, ‘The Chi’ blends community, conflict, and culture through powerhouse performances from Jacob Latimore, Luke James, Lynn Whitfield, and more. With its record-breaking momentum, this isn’t just a show; it’s a movement.
