Season 6
Empire is a drama about a family dynasty set within the glamorous and sometimes dangerous world of hip-hop music. The show revolves around the Lyon family and their media company, Empire Entertainment.
The founder, Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), is the king of hip-hop, but his company and reign are constantly threatened by his family, including his ex-wife, Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson); his sons, Jamal (Jussie Smollett), Hakeem (Bryshere "Yazz" Gray) and Andre (Trai Byers); and a volatile and competitive music industry.
As the final season gets underway, Lucious - who is now a wanted fugitive - is on the run from the Feds.
Cookie keeps busy by focusing on her brand outside of Empire, which now includes a daytime talk show and a community centre.
Andre, currently sitting on the Empire throne, is confronted by several people who now want to get in on the company and Hakeem sets his sights on the lead role in the first Empire movie.
Meanwhile, Becky and Giselle search for their first Bossy Media artist.
