“Empire” returns for its second season, which premiered on Fox Wednesday night (Sep 23).
Season 2 picks up three months after the arrest and incarceration of Lucious Lyon, who is trying to run Empire Entertainment from inside federal prison.
Elsewhere, a headline-grabbing state prosecutor hangs her political ambitions on bringing Lucious down, and Cookie stages a star-studded “#FreeLucious” concert in support of her ex, while at the same time she’s plotting with Andre, Hakeem, Anika and Mimi Whiteman to finalize the hostile takeover of his company.
