Taraji P. Henson is developing an Empire spinoff series as part of the Golden Globe-winning, Emmy and Oscar-nominated star’s new first-look deal with 20th Century Fox TV.
On top of the spinoff series, Henson and TPH Entertainment’s new deal with 20th Century Fox TV also includes other projects for multiple platforms.
Empire veteran Sanaa Hamri will direct while Henson, Empire co-creator Lee Daniels, Brian Grazer, and Samie Falvey executive produce.
“We were lucky to have a front-row seat to Taraji’s meteoric rise as a fixture on television through Empire,” added 20th Century Fox TV president Cassidy Thursday.
