About ‘The Chi’
When a murder dramatically changes the lives of three young teens, their lives are inextricably linked and they form a bond that transcends the arduous life of Chicago’s South Side. Season 5 sees dramatic changes as the mayoral election sends Douda (Curtiss Cook) running for the hills while Tiff (Hannaha Hall) and Emmett (Jacob Latimore) must deal with the fallout of their failed open marriage.
Over 10 episodes, “The Chi” will explore what makes relationships so unique in Chicago; the community must band together to combat everyday violence, rising crime rates, and a lack of access to essential services. The series continues to take a groundbreaking look into what makes a community while also examining the challenges each person must face living on the South Side.
