Showtime's popular drama series, The Chi and City on a Hill, won't be airing their scheduled episodes this Sunday. According to Paramount Press Express, both episodes of the shows are being preempted and will return to the network on Friday, August 26, 2022.
The Chi is currently in its fifth season whilst City on a Hill is in the midst of season 3. Both are critically acclaimed shows that enjoy significant viewership. Without further ado, read on to find out why The Chi and City on a Hill episodes won't air this Sunday.
Showtime reschedules The Chi and City on a Hill episodes
As per Paramount Press Express, the ninth episode of The Chi season 5 and the fourth episode of City on a Hill season 3 will return to the network on August 26, 2022, after taking a ''one-week preemption.'' Jeff Tremaine's hit film, Jackass Forever, will air in the Sunday slots originally allotted to the two shows.
According to TVLine, this prevents The Chi from dropping its upcoming episode opposite HBO's much-awaited Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, which makes its series premiere on the same day.
According to Paramount Press Express, The Chi and City on a Hill's previously scheduled Sunday episodes will now be available for streaming/on-demand on Friday, August 26, 2022, and will air on Sunday, August 28, 2022. The finale of The Chi season 5 will premiere on Friday, September 2, 2022 (via streaming/on-demand) and air on Showtime on Sunday, September 4, 2022.
The film that's airing in their allotted slot this Sunday, Jackass Forever, is a sequel to the hit 2010 flick, Jackass 3D. It's the fourth installment in the popular Jackass film franchise. Jackass Forever was a massive commercial success and also received highly positive reviews from critics, many of whom rated it as the finest film in the series.
A quick look at The Chi plot

But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences.''
The show received highly positive responses from critics for its strong reviews, distinctive tone, and stellar performances by the cast. It stars Jacob Latimore, Alex Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, among others. The ongoing season 5 premiered in June this year and is expected to air its finale on Showtime on September 4, 2022.
