Empire’s subsequent episode was not imagined to be its final.
However due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic, FOX has determined to finish the collection two episodes early, that means that it’s going to seemingly function the collection finale.
In separate statements, Empire creators/govt producers Lee Daniels and Danny Sturdy opened up about the show’s earlier than planned conclusion.
They each hope to carry closure to the followers in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later, however FOX has no plans to take action, that means that Empire Season 6 Episode 18 is ready to finish with loads of threads left dangling.

Added Sturdy, “We had an ending for the collection deliberate that all of us cherished, and hopefully sometime we’ll have the ability to movie it and provides the collection its correct conclusion.”
Whereas FOX by no means officialy confirmed the ultimate two episodes would by no means see the sunshine of day, the community began working promos two weeks in the past to disclose that the collection would wrap April 21.
The mysteries and storylines kicked off all through Empire Season 6, together with the reality about Cookie and Lucious being murdered will not be anticipated to be wrapped up till the 20th episode — which isn’t set to be produced.
