Showtime has handed a Season Three order to The Chi.
News of the renewal comes halfway through the show’s second season.
The Chi was created by Lena Waithe and is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios. Set against a Chicago South Side backdrop, it is a coming-of-age story about a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption. It stars Jason Mitchell, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, and Armando Riesco.
“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.”
The Chi airs Sunday nights on Showtime.
