Fans of the ‘The Chi’ have been wondering how Jason Mitchell’s character, Brandon, will be removed from the upcoming season. Jason has been fired from the show following sexual harassment allegations from his co-star, Tiffany Boone.

The abrupt exit after Season 2 already had been finished did not allow for Mitchell’s character, Brandon, to get a proper ending. When asked by Deadline after the network’s TCA executive session, Showtime’s President of Entertainment Gary Levine confirmed that Brandon is being killed off.
“There is a lot of great life in The Chi, and there’s also death in The Chi, and that’s how we’ll be dealing with it,” he said of Mitchell’s departure.
During the executive panel, Levine and fellow Showtime President of Entertainment Jana Winograde addressed the allegations against Mitchell and the decision to sever ties with the actor.
The show is going to be so weird without Brandon’s character. Will you still be watching ‘The Chi?’
