As this year is 10 years since the series premiere and 5 years since the finale, would you like to see them film the true Empire Finale as a Movie Cookie spin off incorporated
TVLINE: We never got a resolution to the flash-forward tragedies involving Cookie and Lucious. Would that have been tied up in the original finale?
Empire showrunner Brett Mahoney: That’s what breaks my heart. In the [original] series finale all of that plays out. [We find out] who shot Lucious and who blew up Cookie’s car, and [if either one of them survived]. That [storyline’s conclusion] was a victim of COVID-19. I promise you that if we don’t get to film that episode we’ll get the [resolution] out there one way or another.
