Initially, on January 17, the show was renewed for a second season but now Fox has rescinded “Empire” opportunity for a second season.
Produced by Lee Daniels and staring Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson, the show was a success and many viewers tuned in weekly for the musical drama. It is said that the show is loosely based off hip hop mogul, Jay-Z’s life.
According to Fox’s public relations representative, Charles McRae, the show’s cancellation was due to contractual negotiations.
Fox says producers, Lee Daniels and Danny Strong’s production camp were the main determining factors in the cancellation.
It was also learnt that the network pulled the plug on the show for failure to film episodes of the show’s season two, which were scheduled to air September, 2015.
Lee Daniels is currently meeting with several networks to find a new home for the hit series.
He along with co-creator Danny Strong, will be meeting with HBO, Showtime, Viacom and ABC in the next few days.
