Like most people, I have been going through Empire withdrawals over the last couple of months. Wednesday nights just haven't been the same without seeing Cookie, Lucious, Boo Boo Kitty, and the gang. But, we don't have to wait much longer to see the hit show, which premiered on FOX last season, because season 2 is set to return on September 23rd...still too damn far away, but it's within arms reach.
FOX Network was smart...at least where Empire is concerned. They knew they would have a hit on their hands with this show, from the writer, co-creator, director and producer, Lee Daniels, to the cast. Taraji and Terrence have an undeniable, sexy onscreen chemistry...like, you just can't help but wonder if they've gotten their freak on at some point in real life. And the rest of the cast- while they may have been unknown at the beginning- have proven themselves to be able to handle their own, as well. I see a lot of people on social media talk about how Power is a much better show, but a lot of people don't get the chance to watch and see for themselves, because everyone doesn't have Starz, which is why the show- produced by Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson - has not been acknowledged as much, and met with the same positive reception that Empire has.
I just hope that now that Empire has become such a big hit- which means everybody and their mama wants to be a part of this hit tv drama- that the original storyline doesn't get overshadowed by all of the celebrities slated to make cameos on the next season. So far, Marisa Tomei, Pitbull, Mariah Carey, Chris Rock Lenny Kravitz, Alicia Keys, Kelly Rowland, Ludacris, and Adam Rodriguez, are just some of the stars expected to make appearances on the show next season.
Watch the trailer for season 2 below.
