'Empire' will continue for a sixth season, but Jussie Smollett's return is in doubt
"By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett's option for Season 6, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to 'Empire,'" Fox Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV said in a joint statement.That means the studio isn't including him in the series, but is leaving open the possibility of his return.
Last week, in an appearance on"Good Day New York," series creator Lee Daniels said Smollett's fate was still being considered "There are only two judges -- God and that man that wears a robe. And I cannot judge. I can only have compassion," he said.In a release announcing the show's renewal, Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn said the show"continues to break barriers with its emotionally powerful storytelling, and it remains a core part of the Fox legacy.
