The Chi Premiere Sneak Peek: Douda Makes Emmett An Offer He Really Can't Refuse (Exclusive)
That partnership with Otis "Douda" Perry still looking like a good idea, Emmett?
We're guessing that the answer to that question is no, given the menacing way Douda and his men approach the Smokey's owner in this exclusive clip from The Chi's Season 6 premiere.
Fans will remember that Otis came to Emmett at the end of Season 5 and offered to make him a rich man. In the video above, their business partnership is established... but it certainly feels like the former mayor has all the power. And Emmett looks flat-out scared to get in the car when Otis asks — plus, they have a grand opening to get to! — but neither of those details seem to concern Douda. Will Emmett do as he's told?
The Showtime drama will return for an expanded, 16-episode sixth season on Sunday at 9/8c; the episode will be available on Friday, Aug. 4, on Paramount+ With Showtime and On Demand. The season will be split in half, with the second eight episodes airing at a later date.
