About the series

Empire is an American drama TV series that follows the life of a former drug dealer turned hip-hop tycoon. Created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong for Fox, the series stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. The second season premiered on September 23, 2015 and consists of 18 episodes.
Lucious Lyon is a former drug dealer who becomes a well-known hip-hop artist and CEO of Empire Entertainment. His three sons – Hakeem, Jamal and Lyon – assist him in running the business. Just when everything seems to be going perfectly, Lucious learns that he has ALS and will be incapacitated in three years. This news prompt him to begin thinking of who will run the business when he himself no longer can, and it is the exact time when Lucious' ex-wife Cookie is released from prison, where she did time on drug dealing charges. Cookie believes that Lucious owes her, as it was he who put her up to dealing and later used the drug money to jumpstart his career.

Viewership and likely renewal

The first season of Empire was a hit for Fox and the second continues to deliver impressive broadcast ratings. The series soared 76% versus its season debut last January and has a whopping 12.28 million 18-49 viewers overall. Although Fox has not yet announced whether the series will be renewed for another season, we believe that with such a success we will definitely see Empire Season 3 in the summer оr fall of 2016.

Empire, FOX’s breakthrough drama series has wrapped up its sophomore chapter with a bang, having delivered almost 11 million viewers during the broadcast of the season finale, and bringing the average viewership for the entire second installment to 11.5 million fans per episode.
