“The Chi” Renewed For Season 8
Recently, the seventh season of the hit drama series, “The Chi”, became the most-streamed premiere on Paramount+ in the show’s history, shattering the previous streaming viewership record. Paramount has announced that it has renewed the show for an eighth season.
The show is a timely coming-of-age story centring 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. Created entirely in its namesake city.
In the latest season, with Alicia at the helm, the pivotal women of “The Chi” rise to reclaim their power. Yet, as loyalties are tested and new rivalries are stoked, it becomes clear that there’s only one crown, and it will come at a heavy cost.
While “The Chi” is released on Paramount+ With Showtime in the United States, the show is produced by Disney’s 20th Television and is also available internationally on Disney+ in many countries.
“The Chi” is created and executive produced by Emmy winner Lena Waithe (Twenties, Master of None) under her Hillman Grad banner. The series is executive produced by co-showrunners Justin Hillian (Hillianaire Productions) and Jewel Coronel (Uncut Gems) as well as by Academy Award(R) and Emmy winner Common (Selma).
Along with Waithe and Common, the series is executive produced by Aaron Kaplan (A Million Little Things, The Neighborhood), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Resheida Brady-Anderson, Derek Dudley and Shelby Stone of ID8 Multimedia as well as Naomi Funabashi, who oversees for Hillman Grad and Rishi Rajani, CEO of Hillman Grad. Supervising producers Deondray Gossfield and Quincy LeNear Gossfield directed multiple episodes in season seven.
