Mariah Carey Makes a Cameo in the Teaser For Empire Season 3

"We're going to set our stories in motion in a very dramatic way," Chaiken told Variety. "In the finale, we set the table for a challenge to Empire and the Lyon family that's going to serve as the framework for the whole of season three, with a Godfather-style opus of crime and hip hop that has Lucious as the beleaguered kingpin battling back this federal investigation led by a man with a personal grievance, and thug rappers who helped him to build his Empire and are now coming back for their pound of flesh."
