Fox TV has released some pics from the second episode of its hits TV series, ‘Empire,’ which airs on Wednesday, September 30 at 9:00pm ET/PT.
In the all-new “Without a Country” episode of EMPIRE airing Wednesday, Cookie and her cohorts decide to start their own small record label, but it’s off to a bumpy start as everyone has different visions for the new label. As his first project for the new company, Hakeem decides to form a girl group and woos a hot Latina lead singer (guest star Becky G), proving that he can be more than just an artist. Meanwhile, Lucious, feeling extra pressure from a bloodthirsty prosecutor, hires a new lawyer (guest star Andre Royo) and records an epic track from inside jail. In Lucious’ absence, Jamal neglects his music and makes business moves that further his journey toward becoming every bit as ruthless as his father.
Cast includes: Terrence Howard as Lucious Lyon, Taraji P. Henson as Cookie Lyon, Jussie Smollett as Jamal Lyon, Bryshere Gray as Hakeem Lyon, Trai Byers as Andre Lyon, Grace Gealey as Anika Gibbons, Kaitlin Doubleday as Rhonda Lyon, Gabourey Sidibe as Becky, and Ta’Rhonda Jones as Porsha.
A number of celebrities will be making guest appearances throughout the season including Adam Rodriguez as a potential love interest for Cookie, Chris Rock as someone from Lucious’ past, former Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland as Lucious’ mom Leah (in flashbacks), and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges playing a cop; while Oscar winner Marisa Tomei has landed a recurring role as lesbian billionaire and venture capitalist Mimi Whiteman.
Recently Mo McRae, who just finished his stint on TNT’s ‘Murder in the First,’ was hired as a love interest to Becky, played by Sidibe.
International musician and actor Pitbull will guest-star and play himself as he performs “No Doubt About It” with Jamal. Other well-known singers scheduled to appear are Alicia Keys, Pitbull, Mariah Carey and Lenny Kravitz.
