Showtime has renewed The Chi for a third season. The news comes weeks after the premiere of its second season.
The Chi is a timely coming-of-age story about a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption. Jason Mitchell, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, and Armando Riesco star.
“The Chi revels in revealing the beating heart of the South Side of Chicago,” said Gary Levine, President of Entertainment at Showtime Networks. “We, like our viewers, have fallen in love with these characters, and we remain eager to see where Lena and her fellow artists will take them in Season 3.”
Season 2 of The Chi has seen Brandon’s (Mitchell) ambitious plan for his food truck business while Emmett (Latimore) makes an effort to grow up and get custody of his son. His mother, Jada (Ross), discovers a new life of her own and Kevin (Hibbert) reckons with trauma as he strengthens bonds with his buddies. Lastly, Ronnie (Mwine) attempts to reclaim his life, while Detective Cruz (Riesco) launches a new investigation.
