Earlier this year Empire star Jussie Smollett was written out of the series after allegedly staging a hate crime hoax in Chicago [click here if you missed that].
Could Jussie be returning for the Empire series finale...?
Sure sounds like it.
Empire showrunner Brett Mahoney tells TVLine,
“It would be weird in my mind to end this family show and this family drama of which he was such a significant part of without seeing him. It’s fair to say it’s being discussed, but there’s no plan as of yet to bring him back. There’s been no decision made.”
Fun Fact: It is widely believed that Jussie's scandal is to blame for Empire and its spin-off Star being canceled [click here if you missed that].
