Does anyone know when season 3 comes out in the UK? Nice to know I haven’t missed season 4
I meant season 3 dvd Boxset
When does Empire,series 4,start airing on 5Star,please?
Does anybody know what the last episode to air in the UK was?
I’ve just seen that the show has been moved from E4 to 5Star. Does anyone know why? Or has this been a mistake?
Not a mistake, it’s moving to 5Star and airing alongside ‘Star’ Lee Daniel’s other Empire spin-off(ish) music based show. 🙂
I know the elections have been happening in the U.K. so that would be why the show hasn’t been airing in the U.K. but does anyone know when the show will resume in the U.K.?
It skipped 3 weeks (for the Baseball World Series I think) in the US, so that’s why it’s off at the moment. It also skips a week for Thanksgiving… Currently not looking like it’ll will be back till Dec at the earliest.
Or better news… It’s back on the 21st Nov. 🙂
Hey Sophie and all other readers, well I must say that although I am thouroughly disappointed that the show has been taken off the air from Episode 4 of Season 3, it would not be fair if they took it off for the election whilst other shows were still being aired, I heard from a source through IMDbPro that its because Terrence Howard who apparently is a producer behind the series and he asked for a short hiatus due to the fact one of the other cast members had requested they take a short leave of absence for personal reasons in the run up to the election and would not be available to participate in the main reason as to why?
when is Empire showing in the UK
When is Season 3 of Empire starting in the UK and on what channel
Empire is returning to e4 on April 11th 🙂
It’s returning on March 22nd according to geek town. X
Is there any interest in picking this up in the UK as the series has been really popular in the US and it seems quite interesting.
