The Chi will return for a seventh season on Paramount+ with Showtime.
The news comes ahead of the premiere of Season 6, Part 2, which debuts Friday for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan and May 12 at 9 p.m. EDT on Showtime.

The Season 6 cast includes Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, Birgundi Baker, Luke James and Curtiss Cook.
