‘The Chi’ is back for season 6!

The hit SHOWTIME series which was renewed for season 6 just midway through its season 5 run, has now received a premiere date and new teaser trailer that will have fans on the edge of their seats.

Creator, Lena Waithe previously teased that fans would be getting the most emotional season to date and “unlike any other season of The Chi before.”

“It’ll be a very unique season, everybody will find out why very soon,” the Hillman Grad production founder shared. “It’s a very exciting development and it’s because of the love and the energy and the loyalty of our Chi community. We don’t even call ’em fans, it’s a community.”

“I feel like it’s probably one of the most emotional seasons. I know last season was very emotional, but this season’s even more emotional,” she added. “And we heard from the fellas, they want a little bit more… grit, there is that as well. And, you know, it’s The Chi, everybody’s not gonna survive this season.”
