Is there a chance that we are going to hear something more about The Chi season 8 between now and the end of February? Given that we are entering the final chapter of the long-running Showtime drama, we of course feel like that is going to add to all the intrigue and discussion around the story. How can it not? We are expecting that the remaining episodes will be delivering a lot of emotion, but also some callbacks to the past at the same exact time.

Now, let’s get more to the subject of premiere dates and when we can anticipate an announcement. Unfortunately, we are still a little ways away from something more happening there.

For those who have not heard as of yet, production for The Chi season 8 has already kicked off and if we are lucky, we are going to be learning something more about it moving into the late summer or the fall. However, it is hard at the moment to imagine it turning up before then. Just remember for a moment here that filming may not be done until the summer, and there is still a post-production period that will be necessary after that.

In the end, let’s just hope that there is a solid campaign around the final chapter, one that serves as a nice reminder of everything that this show has brought to the table over the years. It has managed to get a number of stories about fantastic characters, with the South Side itself being a major part of the equation. It has changed slowly over time, and in a way that often felt realistic.
