At the end of season one we were left with this: My good friend Malik Yoba was killed by Andre but now has a baby on the way; Jamal started acting like Big Red from the Five-Heartbeats and is now seen running Empire; Cookie got gangsta and tried to smother Lucious after hearing by accident that he killed her cousin Bunkie; Booboo Kitty has ralled the clan to double cross Lucious while supervising Hakeem; Becky get promoted to A&R; Lucious reminded us that even though he doesn’t have this life-ending illness, he is still “Rick James !!!$%”! As posters and trailers have dropped for season 2, here is what we know.
- Season 2 will be about “New Music, New Money, New Power, New Empire.”
- From the clip that dropped last week, Hakeem and Jamal are in the studio and are together playing a #FreeLucious concert.
- Cookie and ‘Mal is having a “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems” issue.
- Andre appears to have bounced back and he’s strolling through the halls very confident.
- Booboo Kitty is also back, but hopefully not with Jamal.
- Lucious looks to have made new friends in orange jumpsuit behind bars.
Check out the trailer and show photos down below from the new season. Empire season 2 premieres on Fox on Sept. 23. Don’t miss it. We sure won’t!
