As we prepare for a roller coaster second season of FOX’s hit hip-hop drama,
Empire
, the cast is featured in an opulent
Vogue September 2015
spread, titled “Empire Rises.”
“There were some fantastic moments,”
says Nickerson,
“Bryshere Y. Gray was dancing, Jussie Smollett was singing. It felt like we were living the show.”
See photos and behind-the-scenes below.
Empire
will begin an extended, two-part second season on Wednesday, September 23, at 9pm on FOX.
