Join Sayrie, Haley Graves, and Porchia Carter as they break down the season 6 opener of Empire where Lucious, who is now a wanted fugitive, is on the run; Cookie focuses on her brand outside of Empire, which now includes a daytime talk show and a community center; Andre is confronted by several people who now want to get in on the company.
Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), a former drug dealer now turned hip hop mogul and CEO of Empire Entertainment, learns he has ALS. His life begins to cave in around him after his past sins come back to haunt him following his diagnosis. Lucious, looking to groom one of his three sons Andre (Trai Byers), Jamal (Jussie Smollett), and Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) to take over the family business, pits them against each other. Empire also stars Taraji P. Henson as Lucious' ex-wife Cookie Lyon, the mother of his three sons who is released from prison after serving a 17-year sentence.
