It’s the end of an era for Showtime’s hit drama ‘The Chi.’
Full story below…
The network has announced that the series will not return after its upcoming eighth season, which will serve as its finale.
The news comes just months after ‘The Chi’ was renewed for Season 8 back in May, shortly after the premiere of Season 7. With the renewal, the show cemented itself as one of the longest-running series in Showtime history.
The cast includes Lynn Whitfield, Jacob Latimore, Yolonda Ross, Michael V. Epps, Shamon Brown Jr., Birgundi Baker, Luke James, and Wendy Raquel Robinson.
Series creator Lena Waithe reflected on the show’s impact as it prepares to wrap:
“When I created The Chi, it wasn’t just about making a TV show—it was about owning our narratives and telling our stories with truth, care, nuance and complexity. It was about showing the soul of the South Side—the beauty, the pain, the grit, and the magic that lives in every block, and in every family.”
We’re sad to see the show go, but as the age-old adage goes: all good things must come to an end.
