An ensemble drama series airing on the Showtime cable channel, The Chi TV show stars Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, Birgundi Baker, Luke James, and Curtiss Cook. The story is a timely coming-of-age story centering on a group of residents on the South Side of Chicago who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.

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.
 

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.
