Hold onto your seats. Cookie and the Lyons family are going out with a bang. Fox has announced the Lee Daniels drama “Empire” starring Taraji P. Hensen and Terrance Howard will end after Season Six.
The announcement was made at FOX’s upfront presentation of the 2019- 2020 Fall Programming Schedule.
The epic final season of the groundbreaking cultural phenomenon promises to be filled with drama, shocking surprises and more jaw-dropping moments. The award-winning drama about a family dynasty set within the glamorous and sometimes dangerous world of hip-hop music has generated chart-topping hits, and socially relevant storylines, introduced “Boo Boo Kitty” into the zeitgeist and delivered over-the-top OMG moments weekly. Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and Lucious (Terrence Howard), the two larger-than-life characters at the center of the series, have taken viewers through the highs and lows that come with fame and fortune. As the series enters its final season, one thing is for sure, the Lyons never go out without a bang.
The will celebrate its 100th episode this season as well. “Empire’s” sister show “Star,” which ran for three seasons as a companion piece to the show, was canceled last week.
“Empire” returns to its original timeslot this fall on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m. on FOX.
