FOX’s freshman series ‘Empire’ has quickly become one of TV’s most talked about shows in years! and only on its second episode, the Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard led show has just received some news that is sure to please the over 10 million and growing viewers who watch weekly. According to ‘Entertainment Weekly‘:
As expected, the network has picked up Gotham for a second season and Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a third season.
But far less expected (at least this soon) is that Fox has renewed hip-hop drama Empire for a second season.
The move is partly surprising (in that it’s very unusual for a broadcaster to renew a series so fast, though it occasionally happens on cable) and yet not given the show’s stunning ratings this week. Empire‘s premiere episode tied How to Get Away with Murder as the season’s highest-rated series debut among adults 18-49. The second episode then stunned the industry by rising in the ratings — which is a very rare occurrence, especially after a strong debut (Empire is the only drama to rise in Week 2 this season).
Following the good news, Taraji took to Twitter to thank the fans for watching and supporting.
