August TV Finales - The Chi - Season Four

Big news The Chi (pronounced THE-SHY) fans! Season five is coming in 2022! Yes the series from a neighbourhood on the South Side of Chicago, which premiered on Showtime on January 7, 2018 will continue for another year. No word yet from Showtime on fellow August TV Finales series Black Monday yet.

Rotten Tomatoes originally scored the series @ 87% considering it "certified fresh". The critical consensus reads, Like an optimistic companion to The Wire, The Chi explores the complexities of life in the South Side of Chicago, with a tender touch and a clear affection for its captivating characters.


Jacob Latimore as Emmett Washington continues to shine in The Chi. This season we find him in an open marriage along with a sick mother diagnosed with cancer.

Yolonda Ross as Jada Washington (Emmett's mother) has her best season yet whilst young stars Alex Hibbert as Kevin Williams, Shamon Brown Jr. as Stanley "Papa" Jackson & Michael V. Epps as Jake Taylor continue to shine.

The Chi has joyful moments whilst it also brings big drama to the screen.

I loved this season the longer it rode on. I am over the moon the show will return for a fifth season. So in Australia this apparently airs on Disney+ so check it out there.
