Yahoo News The Chi season 6 release date confirmed in new teaser trailer
Showtime has released the trailer for The Chi season 6 ahead of its release in August.
Things start off nice enough, as our characters enjoy spending time together and embracing, but it isn't long before it cuts to an ominous red scene and we hear in the voiceover that "This city will forever be in the devil's hands...".
The big shot from the trailer sees Emmett holding a gun and looking terrified, followed by shots of a candle lit vigil, a casket being carried, and Emmett in bed with Kiesha, unable to sleep.

The most obvious assumption is that Emmett has had to kill someone as part of his dodgy partnership with Douda, and he's struggling to process it and keep it a secret. But will things play out like that, or take a different route?
The official synopsis for the sixth season reads: "This season, life in The Chi reverberates between the highest highs and lowest lows. Big dreams are finally realized but at a cost and everyone will be tested in unimaginable ways as they calculate the risks and rewards of their next big move.
"Emmett (Jacob Latimore) and Kiesha's (Birgundi Baker) blissful blended union is tested by his insatiable drive to expand Smokey’s and a new perilous partnership, while Kiesha finally races toward a rewarding new career. Douda (Curtiss Cook) deals with the fallout of Q’s murder and its effect on the shifting loyalty of his inner circle. Victor's (Luke James) bold declaration of love for both his new girlfriend and his beloved community will impact his political ambitions.
"Happily married Jada (Yolonda Ross) mentors Emmett and her besties as they navigate relationships. Kevin (Alex Hibbert) is becoming a brilliant master gamer but struggles with the youthful pitfalls of early independence. Jake (Michael V Epps) launches a new business, and Papa (Shamon Brown Jr) falls for an older woman while questioning his faith.

The Chi season 6 begins on August 6 in the US. In the UK, the show streams on Disney+.
