Showtime has released the official trailer for Season 2 of the critically-acclaimed Chicago-set drama series "The Chi," which hails from Emmy-winning "Master of None" writer and "Ready Player One" actress Lena Waithe.

Executive produced by Common, the Showtime series takes place in the gritty south side neighborhood of Chicago, charting the interlocking lives of several African American residents as they face economical, social, and political challenges.

The ten-episode drama features a strong ensemble cast that includes Jason Mitchell, Tiffany Boone, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Yolonda Ross, Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Armando Riesco, and Jahking Guillory.

"The Chi" is set to return with its second season beginning Sunday, April 7th, only on Showtime. Watch the trailer, above.

synopsis:
On Chicago's south side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches. But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences.

From Emmy-winner Lena Waithe, The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.
