Ludacris' character in "Empire" Season 2, as reported by Access Hollywood, would be a veteran prison guard, who believed that celebrities should not be given privileges when in prison and be treated just as a regular inmate. Meaning, Howard's character, Lucious Lyon, head honcho of Empire Entertainment would be in prison for quite some time after being arrested for his part in Bunkie's murder as last seen in Season 1, as per Music Times.
According to StarrFm online, "Empire" follows the life of hip-hop tycoon Lucious Lyon played by Howard as he fights it out with a terminal disease and makes an effort to select from one of his three sons (Jamal, Andre and Hakeem) to take over the music empire he built. Of course, ex-wife Cookie played by Taraji P. Henson is around to shake things up.
Catch "Empire" Season 2 as it premieres on Fox on Wednesday, Sept. 23, and watch who else will drop by.
