Social Media Scoops: EMPIRE Season 3

If you want the scoop on Empire Season 3 (premiering September 21 at 9/8 Central on FOX), you need to follow the right people on social media.

The legendary (and youthful) Mario Van Peebles has been in Chicago for the past 2 weeks to direct a future episode of "Empire". 

He shared pics of new cast member Taye Diggs with Taraji P. Henson, as well as group selfies with Jussie Smollett and Bryshere "Yazz" Gray. 

In addition to that, he had some fun with extras (in the video posted below).

Hopefully, Season 3 will be better than Season 2.

Fox executives must focus on the STORY and not demographics.  The demographics will come if the story is good. There's no need to create a cheesy season full of episodes catering and pandering to people of color.
