After a months-long hiatus, The Chi is back with the second half of the sixth season of the Paramount+ With Showtime drama.
One Major Reason Kevin (Alex Hibbert) Left THE CHI Season 6 | Will He Return?
A press release for the season hints that (Jacob Latimore) and Kiesha’s (Birgundi Baker) relationship will be tested, while Douda (Curtiss Cook) struggles with shifting loyalties and Victor (Luke James) is haunted by his past. Meanwhile, Papa (Shamon Brown Jr.) grapples with the loss of his father and Maisha (Genesis Denise Hale) navigates a major career change. “But danger lurks… no one is safe and everyone will be tested like never before in the shocking final eight episodes of Season 6,” the press release adds.
No one is safe, indeed. The show has cast off many characters so far, and some of those characters have met violent ends. In the photo gallery below, see how and why former stars and returning actors left The Chi, and what they’ve been up to since.
Mitchell was fired from The Chi in 2019 amid allegations of misconduct (which he denied), and his character died off-screen in a murder later attributed to Douda. The actor has since appeared in the feature film For the Love of Money and the BET+ film Call Her King. In July 2023, he signed on to star in the thriller film Black Heat.
