‘Empire’ Season 3 Spoilers: Lucious Goes Back to his Old Ways, Cookie Gets Over Him, and Hakeem Becomes a Father [PHOTO]
Fans will get to see all of Cookie Lyon’s (Taraji P. Henson) chic outfits in a few more weeks when “Empire” returns to FOX in the fall for Season 3.
Cookie wears a maroon fur jacket in a photo for this week’s #FashionFriday on the “Empire” Facebook Page, teasing fans about the upcoming season.
Fans loved Cookie’s perfect look and her feisty attitude in the last season. But how will she hold up in “Empire” Season 3 after Lucious Lyon’s (Terrence Howard) sham wedding with Anika “Booboo Kitty” Calhoun (Grace Gealey)?
Cookie Against Lucious and Anika
In the “Empire” Season 2 finale, Anika and Lucious were married so she would not be forced to testify against him in court.
Cookie, who was falling in love with Lucious all over again, and who saved Anika’s life literally minutes before the sham wedding, was furious! Not only did Lucsious betray her yet again, he turned right back into the same old selfish Lucious that Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollett) warned her about.
Cookie’s New Beau
Rumors say Tay Diggs is joining the cast of “Empire” Season 3 as Angelo Dubois, Cookie’s new flame.
Show runner Ilene Chaiken tells TVLine that Cookie will start all over in the next season and move on to a new life, completely Lucious-free.
“It starts as a Jamal story and then intersects [with Cookie]. His story is all about Cookie,” Chaiken says about Diggs’ character.
This could also mean that Diggs is there for a music interest. After all, Cookie does have what it takes to run her own show. Will she take the Lyon Dynasty to the next level, and say forget about Empire all together?
In the past, Cookie has dated two other men, but she always seems to find herself going back to Lucious. “Empire” Season 3 just might be the time where she completely lets him go.
Hakeem Lyon
Furthermore, Anika is pregnant with Hakeem Lyon’s (Bryshere Y. Gray) child.
How will Hakeem react to being a father in “Empire” Season 3?
And what does he have up his sleeve? In the last season, he found out a secret about his mother. What is that secret and when will he tell us?
Is he going to finally take over Empire without his family? Don’t sleep on him, he has something major brewing.
Tune into FOX on Wednesday Sept. 21 at 9:00 p.m. EST for the “Empire” Season 3 premiere.
