Cast And Crew Of Showtime’s “The Chi” Hosts Premiere Party

If you guys haven’t already pressed play on the first episode of Showtime’s new Sunday night series “The Chi” we highly suggest you do so. Executive Producer Common, show creator Lena Waithe (who made history with her recent Emmy win) and the cast and crew had a big premiere event Wednesday in L.A. Common even brought his boo Angela Rye.

The first episode actually premieres Sunday night, but Showtime has it available already on Demand. We watched and we loved it. Jason Mitchell (who was amazing as Eazy-E in ‘Straight Outta Compton’ and also killed in ‘Mudbound’) plays the main character Brandon.
