Fox is already preparing for the upcoming second season of its breakout smash Empire.
The writers behind the hip-hop drama announced Friday on Twitter that the new season will premiere on Sept. 23. The sophomore series will remain on Wednesdays at 9 p.m., as Fox announced earlier this month during its Upfront presentation to advertisers.
A stunning success straight out of the box, Empire’s return is a huge part of Fox’s schedule this coming season. The stars of the series performed at Fox’s Upfront presentation, during which the show and its impressive performance was mentioned frequently.
