"Empire" season 2 release date is getting nearer. This means more of the showdown between Lucius Lyon (Terrence Howard) and ex-wife Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and more.
Aside from that, fans of the hit Fox musical drama will again get to see and hear new songs from Jamal (Jussie Smollett) and Hakeem (Bryshere Gray). Over the course of first season, "Empire" produced eargasmic music with some of it even reaching Billboard 100 and topping iTunes chart.
When the "Empire" season 2 release date hits, expect new and better songs as according to Smollett himself, they have started working on new tracks.
The better part of it is they have a new guy on board. It will no longer just be Timbaland who will produce songs. They now also have Grammy winner Ne-Yo for the show.
"I started recording with my own producer and songs that I've written," Smollett said in an interview with The Wrap.
"I've started recording with Ne-Yo and I have been talking with Jim Beanz about ideas for new songs. And Timbaland and Swizz Beatz is incredible. It's definitely happening already. It's starting to get more and more, the scheduling is all about "Empire" recording now. There will be many, many more recorded in the next couple weeks."
"Empire" season 2 release date is September 23. When the show returns, it will be completely different world for the Lyon family members compared to the first season. Jamal is now the CEO of Empire Entertainment which his father tried to deprived him last season. Terrence Howard's Lucius is in jail and is no longer handing out commands in his company. Cookie and Hakeem are in good terms but the worse part of it is they will go up against their own blood Jamal after what transpired in season one finale.
Other new members of the "Empire" season 2 guest stars are Chris Rock, Alicia Keys, and Lenny Kravitz.
