Empire - The Complete Second Season

Defying any expectations, FOX's hit show "Empire" debuted completely under the radar in the television season of 2015! The spectrum of primetime was irrevocably enhanced by the arrival of Lee Daniels and Danny Strong's take on the hip-hop industry, from the inside, out and in-between. With a cast of characters as relentlessly delicious as any on the scene, the drama continues to explode in "Empire" - The Complete Second Season now on DVD.

Lead by the magnetic Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson in the most show-stopping performance of her career (so far) the pair play Lucious Lyon, the high-powered music mogul and president of Empire Entertainment, the most popular record label on the planet, and the equally formidable Cookie - Lucious' ex-wife and label mate, a lightning rod of a personality that is prepared to take Empire to the top of the charts, or burn it to a cinder - especially if it suits her best interests.

Following the most dramatic premiere season-ender ever, Lucious (Howard) has been released from prison and has no other choice but to partner alongside Cookie (Henson) as the pair take on desperate high stakes when a competitor tries to steal Empire right from under them, and their family issues threaten to pull their musical legacy off the hit parade! It's rare when a television series can generate this much buzz, but "Empire's" second season was off the hook!

Primetime glamor and glitz returns at last! It's no secret that the appeal of "Empire" is the immediate nostalgia it inspires reminiscent of other similarly styled classic primetime soap operas in the vein of "Dynasty." Audiences have gravitated to Cookie's more than the bitingly brilliant personality that resonates as infamously as Joan Collin's Alexis Carrington-Colby's from the 80s hit series. Cookie just does it with a little more contemporary swagger.

The 5-disc DVD set features all the Second Season episodes and is packed with bonus content including the uncut music, live performances, and studio sessions are featured in the series now available in their entirety. An additional featurette takes an interest in the global fandom of "Empire" while on the USO Tour and a sneak peek at the particular "Look of Empire" investigates the secret behind Lucious world from his office to his living room.
