"Empire" co-creator Danny Strong is already warning that at least one storyline in Season 2 of the breakaway hit series is bound to "really piss people off."

During a recent interview with BuzzFeed News, Strong added, "We have a storyline that we know is going to enrage a big number of people, but it's a really good story and I kind of love the idea that people are going to be enraged by it."

Strong refrained from going into specifics.

The highest-rated freshmen series in more than a decade and the first one in more than 23 years to grow its audience every single week has no intention of resting on its laurels.

Already the show has announced it has signed Chris Rock, Alicia Keys and Lenny Kravitz for Season 2 cameos and is rumored to have engaged in discussions with the likes of Oprah Winfrey and Denzel Washington.

"I don't think about the pressure at all," added Strong, who shares executive producer credits for the show with filmmaker Lee Daniels.

"I don't feel an overwhelming sense of pressure because of the audience size. I think about it in the same way I think about it when we had zero viewers, which is, 'What's the best story and how do we tell it,'" he added.

Another issue Strong seems leery of is making sure he and all the show's other bigwigs make certain not to impede on what's already proving to be a good thing.

"If you're trying to think about how we can outdo ourselves or do this and do that, then I think we would screw up the show," he explained. "I love that we're taking a genre that's a very mainstream genre and telling a very subversive story within that genre -- tackling homophobia and race relations and bipolar disorder."

In the end, Strong stresses he's simply a fan of a good story, and with "Empire," he seems convinced the sky's the limit.
