'Empire' to End with Season 6 with 'No Plans' for Jussie Smollett's Return
Empire is going to end with next season’s sixth and final season, the network has confirmed.
Fox entertainment president Michael Thorn said he “promises [the season will be] filled with drama, shocking surprises and more jaw-dropping moments.”
“We really are trying to go out guns blazing. One of the great benefits of announcing a final season is to give the fans the ending they deserve. We feel really good about what we’re doing with it,” he continued.
About Jussie Smollett‘s potential return to the show, Michael said, “As you might’ve read recently, there’s an option to have Jussie in the series. But at this point, we have no plans. The room hasn’t even gathered yet, so we have an option but there are no plans yet.”
