TV show description:
This musical dramatic series revolves around a family that’s at the center of a hip hop music empire.
A former drug dealer, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) is the CEO of Empire Entertainment, a hugely successful music company. His life is turned upside down when he learns that he has ALS and must now choose one of his three sons as his successor.
Eldest son Andre (Trai Bryers) is Wharton-educated, power-hungry, and married to manipulative Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday).
Middle child Jamal (Jussie Smollett) is a talented gay singer-songwriter who’s long been seen as the black sheep of the family and despises the corporate side of the music industry.
Fame-obsessed Hakeem (Bryshere Gray, aka Yazz The Greatest) is a fame-obsessed rising hip hop artist, the baby of the clan, and his father’s favorite.
Complicating matters is the boys’ mother and Lucious’ ex-wife, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), who emerges from prison to claim her share of the empire. She helped build the company with Lucious and then took the fall for running drugs that helped finance his early career.
Other characters include Anika Calhoun (Grace Gealey), head of Empire Entertainment A&R and Lucious’ love interest; Vernon Turner (Malik Yoba), Lucious’ longtime friend and business partner; and Becky Williams (Gabourey Sidibe), Lucious’ executive assistant.

I fell in complete love with this show an truly believe it should be a second and third season my aunt whose a four time stroke victim is learning how to use her arm again just so she can turn the television to empire every Wednesday.
Love the show, keep it going I .
I knew Empire was a hit from the very first show. Fox would be making a grave mistake to cancel “Empire” With the dynamic dou of Henson & Howard they have a certain spark on camera and I love “Cookie” that’s my girl very strong,outspoken & ride or die for her sons and ex-hubby. Can’t get enough of the show can’t wait til Wednesday nights

Empire is the best show ever. It has to be renewed!!!!!!!!
