The show centers around a hip hop music and entertainment company, Empire Entertainment, and the drama among the members of the founders' family as they fight for control of the company. The season was produced by 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Imagine Entertainment, Lee Daniels Entertainment, Danny Strong Productions, and Little Chickens, Inc, with Lee Daniels, Danny Strong, and Ilene Chaiken as the showrunners. On January 17, 2015, only after 2 episodes had aired for the first season, a second season was confirmed.
The season airs at 9pm (ET) every Wednesday, and it consists of 18 episodes. Meanwhile, Queen Kane’s penchant for wank-praying is alive and well, the psychotic ruler having installed herself in a new capital, pushing the Big Lie that it was the Trivantian army, rather than her own hand, that brought her former seat to ruin.The second season of Empire premiered on September 23, 2015 on FOX.
Baba’s children are also given more to do, Haniwa striking up a relationship with Edo’s (secretly) sighted Lieutenant, while son Kufun (Archie Madekwe) forms an unlikely alliance with a sympathetic witchfinder, played by Hoon Lee. Making the conflict more personal than that against last year’s witchfinders, Tropper zeroes in on character, building out Baba’s shady backstory through his hulking, rage-fuelled sibling. In the heart of Trivantes, we meet a growling Dave Bautista as Baba’s estranged younger brother, Edo. Not to mention buskers warbling mournful Rolling Stones covers for tips. Here we discover what a thriving city for the sightless might resemble: streets lined with guide wires to aid navigation, scent-artists painting pictures with smell, and citizens distinguished through a tactile combination of knotted IDs and scarification. With laborious exposition out of the way, Tropper focuses on expanding See’s world, introducing the aggressive, martial society of Trivantes.
This second-year builds on that foundation, passing showrunner duties to Jonathan Tropper, whose credentials for bone-crunching action were well-established by Banshee and Warrior.
