It looks like season 3 of ‘Empire‘ is getting even bigger following the announcements that Mariah Carey, Lenny Kravitz, Tyrese, Taye Diggs and more are set to join the hit FOX show.  According to The Wrap:

“The Cosby Show” star Phylicia Rashad has booked a recurring role on the Fox drama, playing Diana Dubois, a powerhouse from one of New York’s oldest and most prominent African-American families.

The character is the mother of ambitious city councilman Angelo Dubois, played by previously announced guest star Taye Diggs. She has her sights set on higher office for her only son and will stop at nothing to get him there. Diana’s interactions with Cookie, Lucious and the rest of the Lyon clan will lay bare the stark class divides that can exist, even within the black community.

We love us some Ms. Rashad, so we’re so here for this! ‘Empire’ returns for Season 3 on Wednesday, September 21.
