Here at We So Nerdy, we’re MASSIVE fans of Empire! From the very beginning, we fell in love with the glorious drama of it all…cheering on our favorite members of the Lyon family (Cookie and Jamal); loving to hate Papa Lyon, Lucious; and watching all the crazy antics unfold. We had a blast live tweeting new episodes and bringing you weekly sneak peeks and look forward to doing the same for Season 2 when Empire returns Wednesday, September 23 on FOX!

Set within a world of music, glamour, danger and power, EMPIRE is about a family dynasty that follows the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne. After music mogul Lucious Lyon (Oscar Nominee Terrence Howard) is diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease, he must choose which of his three sons will succeed him at the legendary Empire Entertainment. The game changes when his ex-wife Cookie (Oscar Nominee Taraji P. Henson) returns from prison where she’s been for almost two decades. Brash and fearless, she sees herself as the sacrificial lamb who built an empire with Lucious and then took the fall for running the drugs that financed Lucious’ early career. As the Lyons slug it out, a battle begins that will either cause the family’s destruction or redemption.
