HOT FROM FOX...

THE WORLDS OF "EMPIRE" AND "STAR" COLLIDE ON A SPECIAL SEASON PREMIERE EVENT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, ON FOX

STAR's Queen Latifah to Appear on EMPIRE and EMPIRE's Jussie Smollett to Appear on STAR

On an epic night of music and drama, Carlotta (Queen Latifah) comes face-to-face with Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollett), as the worlds of EMPIRE and STAR collide Wednesday, Sept. 27 on FOX. The special event begins with the Season Four premiere of EMPIRE (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), followed by the Season Two premiere of STAR (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

The night kicks off with EMPIRE (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). On the brink of Empire Entertainment's 20th anniversary, Lucious is making his first public appearance after the explosion in Las Vegas, while all members of the Lyon family, as well as Lucious' nurse, Claudia (guest star Demi Moore), have their own interests in Lucious regaining his physical and mental faculties. Then, on STAR (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), the girls - with Carlotta as their manager - continue to face roadblocks, despite their victory at Atlanta NextFest.
