E4 to air US series Empire

E4 will air hit US series Empire in the UK this spring.
The hip-hop drama from Fox has become a big ratings success in the US, hitting over 23 million viewers for its final episode, the highest figure for the finale of a show’s debut season since Grey’s Anatomy back in 2005.
Channel 4’s chief creative officer Jay Hunt commented: “Empire has been a record-breaking hit in the US. It’s grown and grown as audiences have fallen in love with its unforgettable characters and soundtrack. I’m delighted it’s coming to E4.”

Empire is an American musical drama television series which debuted on Fox on January 7, 2015. The show centers around a hip hop music and entertainment company, Empire Entertainment, and the drama among the members of the founders’ family as they fight for control of the company.
The hour-long family drama was created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, and stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson.
