Meanwhile, Showrunner Ilene Chaiken has teased a time jump for the premiere episode of Empire Season 4.
"We're not jumping ahead a year, but we're going to deviate once again from our usual pattern of picking up in the moment and move ahead a little bit beyond that," she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
The executive producer also said Andre will feel guilty about what he has done to his family members and he could face big ramifications.
"Andre, clearly, will have guilt to deal with. There's the question of whether or not anybody knows or finds out the extent to which he is responsible to what happened to Lucious," she revealed.
