Seven seasons in, it’s likely you know the score by now, but for the uninitiated, The Chi follows the lives, loves, struggles and successes of a group of Chicago residents. With a huge ensemble cast over the years, the focus has shifted between various families, but the anchor has always been Jacob Latimore’s Emmet, and his coming-of-age in the Windy City.
While much of what to expect from season 7 is being kept under wraps for now, it looks like the women of ‘The Chi’ are set to take centre stage, with Lynn Whitfield’s Alicia leading a rise to power in the community, navigating shifting allegiances and complex dynamics.
While the usual cast are set to return, there’s also some new faces this season. Kayla Pratt will play Hannibal’s wife Angie, while Punkie Johnson joins as restaurant manager Shawnita. Regan Gomez is set to appear as ‘girl gone bad’ Candace, and Tammy Townsend is on board as Nora, an optimistic entrepreneur.

This season, with Alicia at the helm, the pivotal women of The Chi rise to reclaim their power. Yet, as loyalties are tested and new rivalries are stoked, it becomes clear that there’s only one crown and it will come at a heavy cost."
