Frank Micelotta/FOX(NEW YORK) — When Empire returns Wednesday night, a new woman is welcomed into the life of Lucious Lyon, the head of Empire Records, played by Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard.
According to E! News, viewers should “expect a new woman, Roxanne, a reporter tasked with profiling Lucious, to really hit it off with the Empire CEO.”
“Sexy banter will go down and Lucious will find the audacious and stylish Roxanne hard to resist,” according to E!
The new woman may cause problems at home for the married Lyon. His wife, Anika, is portrayed by Grace Gealey.
E! adds that Lyon’s ex-wife Cookie, played by Oscar-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson, is also getting a love interest. Could it be Cookie’s childhood friend and songwriter, Puma, portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr., who we were introduced to last week?
Empire, which airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. Eastern time, centers on a music mogul who doesn’t have long to live, and must decide to which of his three sons he’ll leave his empire.
