What time does The Chi Season 8 drop new episodes on Paramount+? Region wise release schedule 

Lena Waithe's The Chi Season 8 is here for it's final run and with a 10-episode run unfolding on a weekly release schedule, this season is here to wrap things up neatly, or maybe not. If you have followed these characters across the last decade through their love, grief and survival, now is the time to sit and watch how their arcs end and whether they make it out safe or not.

Here's where and when you can stream the eighth season, and more details you should know before you tune in.

Episodes of The Chi Season 8 roll out weekly on Fridays on Paramount+, with each new installment arriving at the streamer's standard drop time of 3:00 am Eastern Time. That's good news for East Coast viewers who don't mind the odd hours. West Coast fans get a friendlier window. Those in the Pacific Time zone can catch the episode at midnight, which is technically still Thursday night for most people.

Viewers in the United Kingdom will see new episodes arrive at 8:00 am British Summer Time, making Fridays a genuinely pleasant way to start the day. Central European viewers can sit down to a 9:00 am release their time. For fans in India, the episode drops at 12:30 pm IS, practically a lunchtime treat. Singapore subscribers get it at 3:00 pm local time, and those watching from Australia on Central Standard Time can expect their episodes at 4:30 pm.

Access, of course, requires the right subscription. The Chi Season 8 streams exclusively on Paramount+ for subscribers to the Paramount+ Premium plan, which runs $13.99 per month and includes ad-free access to all Paramount originals, films, and the full Showtime library. Two days after each Friday streaming release, episodes also air on Showtime itself, with the season premiere hitting the linear channel on Sunday, May 24, at 9:00 pm Eastern. So cable subscribers aren't completely left out, though they'll be two days behind.

More details on The Chi Season 8

As for what's waiting on screen, the season leans into darker territory than perhaps any chapter before it. The story is set during the South Side's coldest winter yet, where life-or-death choices must be made, and the question hanging over everything is who is willing to make them. Tiff is navigating loss on multiple fronts, Victor and Rashaad are dealing with the fallout of Alicia's murder, having been found at the scene and Emmett is grappling with family complications that feel increasingly unresolvable.

The cast includes Jacob Latimore, Birgundi Baker, Luke James, Shamon Brown Jr., Michael V. Epps, Hannaha Hall, and Jason Weaver among others.
