**************
While ratings for the show’s current third season have struggled to reach the high’s of earlier outings, ‘Empire’ has proven to be a consistent performer for FOX. What’s more, with it remaining the top drama (on all networks) in its Wednesday primetime slot, its renewal seemed more “when” than “if.”
Currently in the midst of a mid-season hiatus until March, its spot is being warmed by another music drama – ‘STAR’ – which is also a Lee Daniels production.
