When will FOX air Empire finale?
The sixth season of the musical drama series was originally ordered for 20 episodes and the season was shortened to 18 episodes due to coronavirus-related work shutdown. The last-minute changes in the finale left the show with no proper conclusion for its lead characters.
But Executive Producer Brett Mahoney promised viewers that the show will surely return on TV for one last time later this year to give a proper conclusion to the story of Cookie and Lucious, The showrunner also said they were unable to reveal the truth about Cookie's car explosion and Lucious' gunshot scene in the series finale, which will be included in the special episode.
The Empire finale may also feature a reunion between Andre and Teri though the showrunner is not very optimistic about their future together. "Teri has been through a lot with Andre so I'm not sure she can forgive him and welcome him back into her life. But I will say that Andre, after he decides to stay in New York, proves he is worthy and stable and he can be a father to his son. So the ending is that Andre will be able to raise his son and be in his life and be his father," he told TV Line.
Meanwhile, the air date of Empire finale remains unknown because the production and post-production process depend on the availability of cast and crew.
