EMPIRE
Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET
SERIES RETURN: Empire returns for its final two episodes of Season 5, but the character of Jamal Lyon, played by Jussie Smollett, won’t be seen. He’s been edited and written out, pending a resolution of the actor’s real-life controversy. Tomorrow in Chicago, Smollett is scheduled to be arraigned for allegedly staging a hate crime against himself. If found guilty, Smollett’s career may crumble – but Empire , still one of Fox's most popular scripted shows, may not.
