The world of Empire will continue at Fox.
The independent broadcast network is re-teaming with Taraji P. Henson for an untitled Empire spinoff, with the actress behind Cookie Lyon reprising her role in the potential series. The offshoot, which is in development, is the first project to stem from a newly signed two-year, first-look deal that Henson has signed with Empire producers 20th Century Fox TV. Henson's newly launched production company, TPH Entertainment, will also produce the Empire spinoff, which will follow what's next for Cookie. Former vp television at Working Title Christine Conley will partner with Henson to run TPH.
