"Empire" looks to pick up right where it left off when the record-breaking Fox series returns this fall. Lucious Lyon is still behind bars and his family will do anything to free him, including Cookie dancing in a cage.
The first trailer for season two premiered on Wednesday promising "new music, new money and new power" for the hip hop drama.
Jamal looks pretty smug sitting on his throne as the new head of Empire Records but he better watch his back because it looks like his mother Cookie and brother Andre have teamed up to take him down. His other brother Hakeem may also be making moves with their father's ex-fiance, Anika.
The promo also shows Jamal performing at a benefit concert to #FreeLucious and Hakeem back in the studio. Lucious finally shows up at the end as he heads into the prison's visitors center for an inevitably tense sit down with Cookie.
"Empire" will return on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
