Now out from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is Empire: The Complete Second Season, which navigates all the post-arrest drama as Lucious and Cookie struggle to keep their grip on Empire Entertainment Records amidst personal problems, feuding sons, and threats of an outside takeover.
There are two things fans love most about Empire—the look and the sound. With the 53 minutes of extras added to all 18 episodes of the second season, this DVD set definitely takes those two loves into consideration. Special features include a Freda Gatz music video, four uncut music performances, six studio sessions, and four mini specials that focus on the striking visuals of the show. Also in the mix is a behind-the-scenes look at the USO Tour that members of the cast participated in recently (did you know that Taraji P. Henson worked as a receptionist at the Pentagon years ago?)
This set sells on Amazon for $19.99 (about $1.11 per episode, superior pricing to Amazon’s per-episode price of $1.99 for streaming). Hulu customers also have access to the series as part of their subscription. It is not (nor will it be) available on Netflix.
Whether you’re one of the 15 million+ viewers that caught the show this season or are new and looking to do a quick binge to get into the series, now is a good time to catch up to be ready for Season Three (which airs on Fox starting September 21.)
