‘Empire’ Premiere Gets 1.3 Million Tweets

Was the season premiere all you hoped it would be or did it fall flat?

Cookie and her crew took a huge bite out of the television ratings for Wednesday night. Frank gets Cookie’s cousin to spill the tea on if Cookie snitched on him, while eating a piece of her cousin’s flesh. Jamal is surrounded with work that he doesn’t realize Andre Lyon (Trai Byers) and Hakeem are mad at him.

“Empire” will premiere Wednesday, September 23 at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox and will be available the next day via FOXNOW, Xfinity, iTunes and Hulu. “He’ll defend his family, but especially Cookie, and yet, they will never stop being the bane of one another’s existence”.

Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard describes his experiences and impressions of the Air Force during an interview May 27 in New York.

“Empire” looks to build on last season by expanding the episode slate this year from 12 to 18, breaking it into two parts for the fall and spring, and bringing on official sponsors like Pepsi.

Cookie is behind a lot of the shifting loyalties of the family’s drama, expertly playing each of her sons off of each other and conspiring against her ex Lucious (Terrence Howard), all while dressed impressively and striding into each room as if she owns the place. Now that Lucious is behind bars and Anika is exclusively managing Hakeem, will they still be making melodies in the bedroom too? He even went as far as to tag Henson in the caption of the post, where he says “love you girl”, adding a few emoji’s. “The second he gets the opportunity, Jamal will bust out of his corporate chains because Jamal is an artist at heart and he is really suffering under the burden of responsibility”, she said.

Frank wants to know who ordered the hit against his boy, which points to Cookie. I think I’m OK with that decision. Andre and Hakeem were livid when Lucious announced Jamal as the new head of Empire Records.

Showrunner Ilene Chaiken teases Empire spoilers via TV Guide that this season is all about “warring kingdoms”.

50, who has been vocal about his dislike of the show in the past, previously accused Fox executives of copying the promotional campaign of his TV drama Power, which he both stars in and executive produces.
