The end is near for Lena Waithe‘s The Chi. It will return for its eighth and final season on Friday, May 22, exclusively on Paramount+, the streamer announced Thursday. The 10-episode final season will roll out weekly every Friday. You can watch a melancholy teaser of what’s to come above.

“Life comes at you fast whether you’re ready for it or not,” a voiceover states in the clip. “Everything has to come to an end.”

The Chi revolves around a group of residents on the South Side of Chicago who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.

Per the official final season logline: “As The Chi enters its eighth and final season and its coldest winter ever, life or death choices must be made. The question becomes, who is willing to make them? Legacy, conflict, joy, and pain. It all collides in the biggest, most emotionally riveting way ever seen this season on The Chi.”

The series stars Jacob Latimore,  Birgundi Baker,  Luke James,  Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, Hannaha Hall, and Jason Weaver.

Created and executive produced by Waithe under her Hillman Grad banner, The Chi is also executive produced by co-showrunners Justin Hillian for Hillianaire Productions and Jewel Coronel for Uncut Gems. Additional executive producers include Oscar and Emmy winner Common, Aaron Kaplan, Rick Famuyiwa, Resheida Brady-Anderson, Derek Dudley and Shelby Stone of ID8 Multimedia, Naomi Funabashi and Rishi Rajani. James Rogers III joins as executive producer. Deondray Gossfield and Quincy LeNear Gossfield return to direct multiple episodes and have been upped to Co-Executive Producers. The Chi is produced by 20th Television.
