First Look: The Chi Enters Its Eighth and Final Season

Paramount+ begins production on The Chi's eighth season, promising life-or-death choices and tested loyalties in its final chapter, set in Chicago's South Side.

  • On Tuesday, Paramount+ unveiled first-look images to announce Season eight, the show's final season, premiering later this year on the Chicago-set drama series The Chi.
  • Waithe framed season eight as a hometown 'love letter' and said ending then was right, while producers call it their 'coldest winter ever' with life-or-death choices.
  • The ensemble cast includes Luke James, Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, and Jason Weaver, with executive producers Justin Hillian, Jewel Coronel, Common, and 20th Television, supported by directors Deondray Gossfield and Quincy LeNear Gossfield.
  • Production began in January on the final chapter, and Paramount+ has not announced a launch date while first-look images show Jacob Latimore, actor Emmett, heading toward farewell exits.
  • A broadcast special will celebrate the show's eight-season run and 156 episodes with behind-the-scenes footage, arriving ahead of the series finale scheduled for May 11.
