Empire’s season premiere features a two-year time jump, so what happens next? Here’s how to watch Empire season 5, episode 1 live, on TV and online.
The new season of Empire is here, so we’re telling you how to watch Empire online and watch Empire live this week, because the FOX musical drama has made big changes as it kicks off its fifth season.
After former friend Eddie Barker (recurring guest star Forest Whitaker) managed to seize control of the Lyon family’s business at the end of season four, the series picks up with Eddie still running the show several years later.
Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) and Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson) are back to living in relative obscurity, but they continue to plot against Eddie hoping that they’ll find a way to depose him. Still, after years of trying, he has to be pretty well established in power, so this won’t be an easy battle. Then again, is it ever?
Below is all the information you need to watch Empire online and live Wednesday to catch the first episode of the new season.
Here’s how FOX officially describes the episode:
"Two years after losing Empire to Eddie Barker, Cookie and Lucious are still in the midst of picking up the pieces. The family is now completely dispersed and coping in their own ways after experiencing unimaginable tragedies. Meanwhile, in an effort to reclaim the Lyons’ position in the music industry, Cookie sets her eyes on a talented new singer and rapper, Treasure."
