When The Chi season 6 kicked off in August, Deadline reported it did so as the highest-rated premiere in the show’s history. Loyal fans were eager to see all the changes in the lives of Emmett (Jacob Latimore), Kiesha (Birgundi Baker), Kevin (Alex R. Hibbert), Douda (Curtis Cook) and the rest of the fictional Chicago residents.
However, after eight episodes of season 6 aired, fans were left wondering when they’d get the rest of the season. Thankfully, Showtime has finally announced the return date. Here’s what we know about the new episodes of The Chi season 6.
When will The Chi season 6 be back with more episodes?
The second half of The Chi season 6 premieres on Friday, May 10. Check out this video announcement from Showtime.
Now if patience isn’t your strong suit, we suggest filling the void you may feel while waiting with some other Chicago-based dramas. For example, both 61st Street and Power Book IV: Force are based in Chicago. 61st Street season 1 debuted on AMC (its new home is The CW), while Power Book IV: Force season 2 just wrapped. Additionally, Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 3 is a good option, although it’s not a Chicago-based series.
If you’re willing to venture to the West Coast, we suggest watching Snowfall. The six seasons of the crime drama shine a fictional spotlight on Los Angeles in the 80s. It’s arguably one of the best we’ve seen in the genre, which is why we weren’t afraid to compare it to The Wire.
Should you be a strict loyalist to The Chi, you always have the option of going back to watch your favorite episodes on Paramount Plus with Showtime.
