'Empire' and 'Star' to Cross Over
by EG
It's official: the casts of Empire and Star about to meet.
Lee Daniels' two Fox music dramas will officially cross over in a special two-episode event this fall.
Fox will use the crossover, in which Star's Carlotta (Queen Latifah) come face-to-face with Empire's Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Jamal Lyon (Jussie Smollett) for the first time, to launch the new seasons of both series.
The crossover is set for Wednesday, Sept. 27, at 8 p.m. with Empire's season four premiere. On the brink of Empire Entertainment’s 20th anniversary, Lucious is set to make his first public appearance after the explosion in Las Vegas, while all members of the Lyon family, as well as Lucious’ nurse, Claudia (Demi Moore), have their own interests in Lucious regaining his physical and mental faculties.
