— Last season's breakout hit Empire is back with its second season Wednesday at 9 p.m. Eastern on Fox. We pick up with Lucious (Terrence Howard) still behind bars, but that's not stopping him from trying to stay in charge of Empire. He's working with Jamal (portrayed by openly gay actor Jussie Smollett) to keep things running. Of course, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) has her own schemes.
