Empire

Alas! There won't be any Cookie Lyon anymore for us fans to love, at times hate and even adore on. The Fox produced hip-hop drama is all set to end with the 6th season soon. And while the show will be airing its sixth season, it will reach an amazing milestone of completing 100 episodes too. According to a report in Hollywood Reporter, Empire will go head-to-head with the fourth season of TV's top drama, NBC's This Is Us. The final season will consist of 20 episodes, up two from its standard 18.

The final season decision arrives days after Fox opted to cancel low-rated Empire spinoff Star following its three-season run. Fox, which enters 2019-20 as an independent broadcast network, picked up 10 new scripted series — including three animated comedies.

Meanwhile, there has been no change in the status of beleaguered former star Jussie Smollett. Producers 20th TV picked up Smollett's option but there are no current plans for his character to return for season six.

Empire heads into its final season as Fox's second-highest-rated drama series, behind only Ryan Murphy-produced procedural 911.

Empire joins Modern Family, Criminal Minds, Arrow, Supernatural and Blindspot as broadcast shows that will end next season.
