With just four episodes left to air, here’s the first look at Grammy Award winner Mary J. Blige, who will appear in the upcoming March 11 episode “Sins of the Father” (Episode 11) of the hottest new series on television, ‘Empire.
That episode will also contains appearances from Jennifer Hudson, Raven-Symone, and Naomi Campbell.
Andre forms a new musical relationship with Michelle (guest star Jennifer Hudson), and a woman from Lucious’s past, Angie (guest star Mary J Blige), comes into the picture. Meanwhile, Lucious invites the whole family over to his home. However, everyone arrives with their own agendas. Hakeem, under the influence of Camilla (guest star Naomi Campbell), sets out to show his father that he’s a true artist and a good businessman. Then, Cookie prepares to state her own agenda for Empire and for her family, when Olivia (guest star Raven-Symoné) arrives.
Lee Daniels’ creation is not only tearing up the rating charts, rising in each episodes, but he’s attracting a lot of good talent to appear in small cameos or in guest roles with the possibility of it turning into a recurring role.
We have seen the likes of Academy Award Cuba Gooding Jr., Grammy Award winner Gladys Knight, Supermodel Naomi Campbell, Courtney Love, Tasha Smith, and Grammy Award winner Estelle appear with Patti Labelle and Rita schedule to be in the season finale and more talent set to appear in season 2.
The episode is a reunion for Henson and Blige as the two appeared together in Tyler Perry‘s 2009 film ‘I Can Do Bad All By Myself.’
Featuring music by prolific producer Timbaland, the series stars Academy Award nominee Terrence Howard (“Crash,” “Hustle & Flow”) and Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson (“No Good Deed,” “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”). Among the series’ other featured cast members are Malik Yoba, Jussie Smollett, Trai Byers, and Kaitlin Doubleday, as well as newcomers Bryshere Gray and Grace Gealey.
