Why Isn’t ‘Empire’ On Tonight? Fox Show Taking Two Week Hiatus
Fans won’t be stepping into the Lyon’s den tonight. The Fox hip-hop drama is taking a short hiatus and won’t be airing a new episode on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Instead, Fox will be airing the third Presidential Debate during “Empire’s” normal time slot.
The official Twitter page for the “Empire” writers announced last week that the show wouldn’t be returning until Nov. 2. That means there also won’t be a new episode of “Empire” next week either. According to Fox’s TV lineup, the network will broadcast the World Series instead.
