“The Chi” Secures Season 8! — This Show Has More Lives Than Your Ex’s Excuses

Buy Me A Coffee

The Chi is officially coming back for Season 8 — yes, EIGHT — which means it’s now part of the TV immortality club right next to Dexter, Weeds, and Homeland. And let’s be real, this show has more staying power than your last situationship.

Paramount+ with Showtime spilled the tea after The Chi’s Season 7 premiere pulled in 2 million viewers in just one week — and no, not 2 million bots, actual humans with taste. That makes it the most-streamed premiere in the show’s history. Who said quality TV is dead? Not us, honey.

At this point, The Chi is basically the Beyoncé of Showtime — just dropping hits and collecting accolades. It’s tied for second-longest-running series on the network, only behind Shameless, which ran for 11 seasons and somehow still left us emotionally unstable.

Created by the ever-iconic Lena Waithe (who clearly doesn’t sleep), the show already had a writers’ room working their magic back in February, which means Season 8 is cooking in the creative crockpot as we speak.

If you’re one of the three people who haven’t watched yet, The Chi follows a crew of South Side Chicago residents who are thrown together by fate, vibes, and a strong craving for connection (and probably Harold’s Chicken). It’s all about survival, love, redemption, and occasionally wild plot twists that make your group chat explode.

The Chi ain’t going anywhere. So grab your remote, prepare your feelings, and remember — eight seasons in TV years is like a hundred in dog years. That’s legacy, baby.
