There’s still months to go before the return of Fox’s megahit show “Empire” on September 23, but that isn’t stopping the network from teasing us with some brand new art.
In a photo released on “Empire’s” Twitter account, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) sit on a pair of golden thrones next to a lion and lioness. The photo bears the words, “Welcome back to the Lyons den.”
“Empire” was a ratings record breaker for Fox. The show’s finale achieved a 6.5 rating, drawing in 16.7 million total viewers. The show also broke a 23-year ratings record, as it is the only primetime scripted series to grow in total viewers over each of its first five telecasts.
