The hit Fox series had a mind-blowing first season and is set to premier its second season on September 23, 2015 to the legions of fans anxiously waiting to see how the tangled threads will unfold.

1. Family Drama

Family drama as one of the most prominent themes of Empire is this time set in the world of luxury, far beyond the grasp of common folk, with the main character, father, husband and mogul, terminally ill.

The Lyon family patriarch, Lucious, has an unspecified but short amount of time to decide what to do with the empire he has built and which one of his three sons is best fit to take his place.

To make matters more complicated for Lucious, and more interesting for the audience and fans of the show, the matriarch, Cookie, played by Taraji P. Henson, returns after 17 years she had spent in prison, after taking the fall for Lucious.

Lucious has since long moved on, the family is in ruins, and Cookie wants her cut of the empire her ex-husband had created. This family drama unfolds quickly enough to keep us glued to our seats, featuring plenty of unexpected plot twists and turns, witty humor and a chart-topping soundtrack.
