Will There Be A Season 7 of ‘The Chi’ on Paramount+?

The season finale of The Chi, Season 6, Episode 16: “Thanksgiving,” is now streaming on Paramount+ and airs Sunday night on Showtime. It’s been a pretty big month for Paramount+: Jeremy Renner’s Mayor of Kingstown returned for Season 3, Criminal Minds: Evolution is back with new episodes, and, the Napster/LimeWire documentary How Music Got Free debuted on the platform.

The sixth season of Lena Waithe’s popular drama about life on the South Side of Chicago (I can’t hear that without thinking about Tim Meadows in Mean Girls) was broken into two eight-episode parts, a change from the first five seasons which consisted of ten total episodes.

What exactly does that mean for the future of the series? Has The Chi been renewed for Season 7? Here’s everything you need to know.
