“Empire” fans get excited! The “hip hopera” soapy drama series has been given an early renewal for Season 2. Yep, Lucious Lyon, his bad a** ex-wife Cookie, and their three sons will be taking over the small screen for a new season.

The Lee Daniels-directed drama burst on the scene with record-breaking ratings becoming FOX’s highest-rated debut in years. According to Nielsen ratings, “Empire” captured 9.9 million viewers for its premiere episode. For the second episode, ratings rose capturing 10.3 million viewers, beating out every other broadcast show. Woot!

Yesterday, the “Empire” cast Bryshere Gray, Jussie Smollett, Trai Byers, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard hit the panel during FOX’s 2015 Winter Television Critics Association press tour to chop it up about their breakout series (atop).

Soon after, the leading lady slipped into a super cute shorts jumpsuit and thigh-high boots to party it up at the All-Star Party at the Langham Huntington Hotel:

During the party, Taraji caught up with "Empire" writer/director Lee Daniels and her on-screen son Jussie Smollett. Jussie recently served up some very good points about why diversity is in television and not in film. Check it out HERE if you missed.
