The trials and tribulations of Cookie Lyon will not be charted in a spinoff of Empire.<\/p>\n

Variety has confirmed that FOX has nixed plans for a potential spinoff featuring Taraji P. Henson.<\/p>\n

First announced in July when Henson signed a first-look deal, the spinoff would have been a sequel to Empire’s events, taking Cookie to Miami to start a new life.<\/p>\n

\n \"Reflecting<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

News<\/a> of the spinoff came months after FOX decided against filming the last-ever episodes of the series<\/a> after it was shut down due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The news was a bit of a slap in the face to fans who invested six years in the series, which was once a ratings juggernaut for the network.<\/p>\n

\n \"Cookie<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

At its peak, Empire scaled stratospheric heights, but the series never broke out beyond the U.S., meaning it was difficult to monetize the show internationally.<\/p>\n

Even though ratings sagged in the final season, a Cookie-centric spinoff would have probably been a draw for some fans who bailed on the series.<\/p>\n

While FOX has passed on the project, it is being shopped around, and Deadline is reporting that Hulu and ABC could be home to the project.<\/p>\n

\n \"Is<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

In all honesty, Empire Season 6’s ratings would have been cancellable on ABC, so we can probably take them out of the running.<\/p>\n

Hulu could be interested since the streamer has the second-window rights to the original.<\/p>\n

Many variables need to be taken into consideration before any network would decide to move forward.<\/p>\n

Empire’s end was announced shortly after the Jussie Smollett scandal, which probably contributed to losing millions of viewers.<\/p>\n

\n \"At<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

From a creative standpoint, fans deserve closure, but the show was circling the drain with meandering plots in those final seasons.<\/p>\n

What are your hopes for the spinoff?<\/p>\n

Does it deserve to be picked up?<\/p>\n
