Blu-ray Contest: \u201cEmpire\u201d Season 1<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

\"Empire<\/a><\/p>\n

Become a part of the phenomenon that captivated the nation when \u201cTV\u2019s biggest smash of the past decade,\u201d (Robert Rorke, New York Post) arrives on Blu-ray\u2122 and DVD September 15th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.<\/p>\n

Set within a world of music, glamour, danger and power, EMPIRE is about a family dynasty that follows the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne. After music mogul Lucious Lyon (Oscar\u00ae Nominee Terrence Howard*) is diagnosed with a potentially fatal disease, he must choose which of his three sons will succeed him at the legendary Empire Entertainment. The game changes when his ex-wife Cookie (Oscar\u00ae Nominee Taraji P. Henson**) returns from prison where she\u2019s 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\u2019 early career. As the Lyons slug it out, a battle begins that will either cause the family\u2019s destruction or redemption.<\/p>\n
