Entitled “What Remains Is Bestial,” next Wednesday’s “Empire” features a guest appearance by Mariah Carey.
Fans have long anticipated a Mariah Carey appearance on “Empire,” and confirmation of her involvement garnered numerous headlines this past summer.
The appearance finally comes on October 5. Carey, fittingly, plays a music superstar on the episode.
“Cookie calls in a favor with mega-superstar Kitty (guest star Mariah Carey) to record a new song with Jamal, hoping he will overcome his inability to perform,” says FOX of the broadcast. “Meanwhile, Andre runs into some trouble and things don’t go as planned. Cookie and Lucious are at odds, Hakeem and Gram (guest star Romeo Miller) fight for Tiana’s attention, and things heat up between Cookie and Angelo Dubois (guest star Taye Diggs).”
In advance of the October 5 “Empire” episode, FOX shared first look photos:
