Lena Waithe’s ‘The Chi’ Series Lands a Season Three Renewal

Not even a month after the premiere of season two, The Chi is already renewed for a third season.

Having made its debut back in January of 2018, the Showtime-exclusive series has been one of the network’s most-watched shows since its release, and the fans just can’t seem to get enough of it.

“The Chi revels in revealing the beating heart of the South Side of Chicago,” Gary Levine, President of Entertainment at Showtime Networks, told Deadline. “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 three.”

Created by Emmy-winning screenwriter, producer, and actress Lena Waithe, The Chi takes place in the South Side of Chicago. It follows the lives of a group of residents who are all connected by coincidence but bonded by the backbone of the hard knock community and the circumstances within it.

Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton), Jacob Latimore (Detroit), Alex Hibbert (Moonlight), Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (Treme), Yolanda Ross (How to Get Away with Murder), and Armando Riesco (Brooklyn’s Finest) star in the hit drama, among others.
