The kids of The Chi aren't kids anymore.

A teaser trailer released Wednesday gives us a hint of what a very grown-up Kevin, Jake, Papa and their fellow Windy City inhabitants will be up to when the Showtime series returns for Season 6. And now we also know exactly when that will be: Sunday, Aug. 6, at 9/8c, but the episode will be available on Friday, Aug. 4, on Paramount+ and On Demand.

What's more, the upcoming season has been expanded to 16 episodes (instead of the usual 10) and split in half, with the second eight episodes airing at a date to be announced.

Per the season's official synopsis: "This season, life in The Chi reverberates between the highest highs and lowest lows. Big dreams are finally realized but at a cost and everyone will be tested in unimaginable ways as they calculate the risks and rewards of their next big move.
