  • Today Paramount+ unveiled an exclusive first look at the eighth and final season of THE CHI, giving fans their first glimpse at the series’ final chapter. Production on the new season began in January, kicking off the road to the show’s highly anticipated farewell.
  • As THE CHI enters its eighth and final season and its coldest winter ever, life or death choices must be made. The question becomes, who is willing to make them? Legacy, conflict, joy, and pain. It all collides in the biggest, most emotionally riveting way ever seen this season on THE CHI.
