How the tables have turned! Cookie visits Lucious in prison in new promo for Empire season two
The season two premiere of Empire is just under two months away.
But the show is already drumming up excitement for fans, and released a new teaser on Wednesday.
The 30-second clip had no dialogue, but gave a few glimpses of what we can expect when the runaway hit series returns.

And that's how the Cookie crumbles: A new promo for Empire's second season was released on Wednesday
Perhaps the most exciting moment in the promo is the final one, where we see Lucious Lyon clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, as he receives a visit from ex-wife Cookie.
Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) has a look of utter disdain on her face as she glances up at her former husband, while sitting in the jail's visitation area.
Those who watched the season one finale will know the rapper turned Empire records founder, played by Terrence Howard, is facing charges for murder.
Behind bars: Lucious Lyon is in jail after being arrested for murder, and we catch a glimpse of him in the clip
Utter disdain: While the promo has no dialogue, Cookie's face says it all when she goes to visit her ex-husband in prison
What's going on here?: It looks like Cookie is taking part in some kind of performance that involves her being in a cage
It's quite a change from how the series kicked off, with Cookie getting out of prison after serving a 17-year sentence for drug dealing.
We also catch a glimpse of Cookie in a cage, apparently for some kind of performance as she has a golden microphone in hand.
Meanwhile, things appear to be going well for Jamal, who is seen performing for a huge crowd, surrounded by people holding pickets and with a big sign behind him reading '#FREELUCIOUS'.
Last month, the show's creator Lee Daniels revealed that filming on season two had begun, and shared a video of Chris Rock, who was on set at Chicago's Cook County Juvenile Detention Center.
Wowing the crowd: Jamal is seen performing for a large audience, suggesting things are going well for him
'#FREELUCIOUS': Jamal is joined by several picketers hoping to get Lucious freed from jail
They're all back: Cookie takes a stroll through the office with Anika, Andre and Hakeem
Why so smug?: Suited up Andre has a smile on his face as he is seen alongside mother Cookie
The 50-year-old will play a man from Lucious' past who is also a prisoner at the same jail.
Just like in the first season, plans can expect to see plenty of famous faces acting as guest stars in season two.
Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, and Lenny Kravitz will all be making appearances, while Marisa Tomei has landed a recurring role.
Empire's second season will also be longer, made up of 18 episodes with a mid-season finale in the winter. The show returns to Fox on September 23.
Bigger and better: Season two, which kicks off on September 23, will be made up of 18 episodes
Special guests: Chris Rock, Kelly Rowland, Alicia Keys, and Lenny Kravitz will all be making guest appearances, while Marisa Tomei has landed a recurring role
Ooh la la: It looks like there will be plenty of racy outfits involved when the runaway hit series returns

In the interview, Cox opened up about her part as an activist and public figure, what¿s wrong with focusing on appearance and gave advice around navigating and changing our patriarchal society.

But I didn¿t have the money to do it. I¿m so blessed and grateful that I didn¿t because I would look completely different. I¿ve had to learn to love and accept all those things about me that make me distinctly trans: my broad shoulders, my big hands and feet, my deep voice. It¿s so deeply ingrained in this culture, though.

![The ABC Chief meteorologist and her husband Ben Aaron revealed the sex of their baby on the way during a Tuesday segment on Good Morning America.
?[I?m] excited, I?m happy to get it out there,? the mom-to-be, who?s expecting their first child in December, says before the big announcement.
?I honestly don?t care [if it?s a boy or girl] as long as it looks like her side of the family,? adds Aaron, an NBC news correspondent.
The parents-to-be made the creative reveal by uncovering the lids of large alphabet blocks, out of which popped blue balloons. As the couple cheers, Aaron shouts, ?A son!?](http://web.archive.org/web/20150723023922im_/http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/07/21/20/2ABAF36800000578-0-image-m-33_1437506240734.jpg)
