A Look Back at Season 1’s Plot:
LUCIOUS LYON (Terrence Howard) is the king of hip-hop. An immensely talented artist, the CEO of Empire Entertainment and a former street thug, his reign has been unchallenged for years. But all that changes, when he learns he has a disease that is going to render him incapacitated in a matter of three years. The clock is ticking, and he must groom one of his three sons to take over his crowning achievement, without destroying his already fractured family.
After prompting his sons to vie for the empire, Lucious’ new plan is thrown into chaos when his ex-wife, COOKIE (Taraji P. Henson), emerges seven years early 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. Lives and loves will be lost as the complicated family will come together and fall apart over each member’s desire for the elusive throne. Will the family unite and learn to love each other before it’s too late? Love, war, family, sacrifice, money and music: this is EMPIRE.
