Fans have been anxiously awaiting the return on the hit Fox drama.

And it certainly looks like Empire die-hards have quite the roller-coaster ride  set for the rest of the season.

A new clip teasing the return of the series was released on Thursday as it shed some light on what's to come including a shocking moment that will surely get social media buzzing.

Toward the end of the 12 second clip showed mogul Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) having a gun pulled on him by son Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray).

It seems to be a moment filled with all types of emotions as tears could be seen streaming down Lucious's face.

The shrewd hip-hop executive still seemed to be defiant as he yelled at his his son: 'Watch your back because I keep my promises.'

Emotional: Tears could be seen running down Lucious's face but he was defiant as he said: 'Watch your back because I keep my promises'

The aspiring rapper seems unphased as he lifts a pistol toward his father's forehead and cocks it back.

Perhaps the hair-raising event put things into perspective for Lucious as the closing shot of the video is him laying in bed with his ex-wife and Hakeem's mother Cookie (Taraji P Henson).

No doubt the final image also came as a shock to fans as Lucious and Cookie have a very combative relationship.

Earlier in the video, Cookie seemed to foreshadow what would happen as she said: 'We've all got it coming sooner or later.'

Other key scenes included a Mercedes-Benz exploding and a steamy Hakeem make-out session.

Throughout the short clip, words flashed across the street which definitely reinforced the theme of what season 2 will be about as it read: 'Without family there is no Empire.'

Things are definitely going well for the series as it was announced earlier this month that it will be coming back for a third season.

Empire returns March 30 on Fox.
