Season Six Ratings
The sixth season of The Chi averages a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 143,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 55% in the demo and down by 29% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Chi stacks up against other Showtime TV shows.
The Chi has been renewed for a seventh season, which will debut (TBD). Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew The Chi for season seven? The show has been one of the channel’s highest-rated shows, so it’s no surprise that Showtime ordered a supersized sixth season. Unless creator Lena Waithe wants to call it quits, I think The Chi will be renewed for a seventh year. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
