There are many ways to keep warm in the Winter, but for FOX scorching new show ‘Empire’ is their top pick.

Produced by film-making maestro Lee Daniels (whose credits include ‘The Butler’ and ‘Precious’), the sexy and powerful new drama relays the life of the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne.

Set to debut later this year, the show – which was reportedly the subject of a fierce bidding war between four networks – stars Oscar nominees Terrance Howard and Taraji P. Henson, as well as talented newcomers Jussie Smollet, Bryshere Gray, and Trai Byers. Interestingly, hitmaker Timbaland is producing original music for the show.

Yes, yes, and yes! We’ll definitely be watching. Will you?
