Cast members from Showtime’s “The Chi” gathered Tuesday evening for a private screening of the season seven premiere, offering an early look at the new chapter of the acclaimed drama ahead of its May 16 release.
The event, held for an intimate group of industry tastemakers, featured appearances by Lynn Whitfield, Jacob Latimore, Luke James, Birgundi Baker, Hannah Ahall, and several other supporting cast and crew. Organized as both a screening and networking mixer, the evening highlighted the continued cultural relevance and storytelling impact of the Lena Waithe-created series.
Season seven opens with high-stakes drama, emotional depth and timely social themes that have come to define the series. The show remains a vital platform for exploring life in South Side Chicago, touching on issues of identity, family, community and systemic challenges.
Since its debut, “The Chi” has built a loyal audience by reflecting the lived experiences of underrepresented communities, and the latest season appears poised to deepen that legacy.
Showtime’s “The Chi” premieres May 16, 2025. A must-see, for sure.
