What’s This TV Show About?
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. Guests include Kandi Burruss, La La Anthony, Jason Weaver, Iman Shumpert, Nia Jervier, Carolyn Michelle Smith, L’lerrét Jazelle, and Antonyah Allen. The story is a timely coming-of-age story centering on a group of residents on the South Side of Chicago who becomes linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption. The fifth season delves deeply into the many joys and complications of Black love: relationships, children, career, community, and self.
Season Five Ratings
The fifth season of The Chi averaged a 0.07 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 200,000 viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 7% in the demo and down by 33% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). 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 typically the higher-rated series are 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 sixth season which will debut (TBD). Stay tuned for further updates.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Chi TV show has been renewed for a sixth season? How would you feel if Showtime had cancelled this TV series, instead?
I absolutely love this series we need more good tv and if it were canceled it would piss me off because I get so tired of good television shows being canceled we’re not lasting but a couple seasons and then The Simpsons and all these other shows stay on forever and they’re so stupid and an absolute insult to someone’s intelligence so I hope that “CHI” is here to stay. ❤️
I totally agree with Shauna. The Chi has been an excellent show to watch. I’m 75 and love it. You just can’t leave us up in air with so much drama at the last episode of season 5. It’s so well written and the actors are all amazing.
Please bring back season 6 Showtime or I just might cancel my Subscription.
