The Chi has been renewed for an eighth season!

Paramount+ with Showtime confirmed the renewal following the Season 7 premiere, which drew 2 million cross-platform viewers in the first seven days to become the series’ most-streamed premiere ever, via Deadline.

The Chi ties Dexter, Homeland and Weeds for the second-longest run in Showtime’s history, behind Shameless with 11 seasons.

The Lena Waithe-created series already commissioned a writers room back in February.

The show follows a group of residents on the South Side of Chicago who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.
