When will Empire return? Fox has already confirmed season 4.

Empire fans don’t need to sweat a thing. Cookie and the rest of the Empire crew will be back on Fox this fall for Empire season 4. The network renewed the series back in January, and announced it would led a music-driven Wednesday night lineup on Fox’s 2017 fall schedule.
Empire Season 4 Release Date
We don’t know the exact date just yet, but Empire season 4 will premiere on a star-studded Wednesday night lineup in the 8 p.m. timeslot. Lee Daniels’ other series Star will follow at 9 p.m. The shows have already crossed over, so there’s potential for Empire to help boost the ratings of Star.
