Deadline reports that Taraji P. Henson-led hip-hop drama series Empire has been cut short due to the current pandemic. Empire’s series finale will premiere on April 21st with episode 6.18. However, the set back is nothing new.

Empire also stars Terrence Howard, Bryshere “Yazz” Gray, Trai Byers, Grace Byers, Gabourey Sidibe, Ta’Rhonda Jones, Serayah, Xzibit, Rumer Willis, Andre Royo, and Terrell Carter.
