‘Empire’ is expanding for its second season. And in more ways than one.
Full story below…
During a press call to plug FOX‘s Fall 2015-2016 programming, network chiefs Dana Walden and Gary Newman revealed that the sophomore run of the music drama will consist of 18 episodes – six more than the 12 episode order for first season.
Interestingly, the show will adopt the station’s new format which will split the season in two – nine episodes in the Fall (with a cliffhanger) and nine episodes in the Spring.
In other ‘Empire’ news, it has been confirmed that singer-songwriter Ne-Yo has signed on to the show as a musical producer. The role will see the crooner craft tracks for the show’s characters, much like Timbaland (who will also stay on as the series’ Executive Music Producer).
NeYo hell no gurl bye to the ratings he was hot 10 years ago bye felicia
Um late ass Timbaland produced 1st seasons music and it was decent, So im sure Neyo will slay with production and writing.
Ummm when did Neyo last produce a hit? Enough said it ain’t 2006

He’s gotten so boring musically.
As soon as I saw Neyo, I checked out!
He’s better at the love songs. Not bangers
All these changes… I hope they keep up the viewers.
