Showtime will debut the sixth season of its Lena Waithe-created drama series The Chi on August 4, the premium channel said Wednesday.
The 16-episode sixth season — which will be split into two eight-episode installments — continues to follow a group of residents on Chicago’s South Side who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and compassion. The sixth season will show life in “The Chi’ as it reverberates between the highest of highs and lowest lows, Showtime said, with big dreams finally being realized but at a cost. “Everyone will be tested in unimaginable ways as they calculate the risks and rewards of their next big move,” the network said.
