Henson has been playing the main role as Cookie Lyon in the American musical television series, Empire. The television series premiered in 2015 and the last episode ‘ Home Is on the Way’ was premiered on April 21st, 2020.
To mark the conclusion of the record-setting drama, EW chatted with Mahoney and Henson about being disappointed over the abrupt ending, wanting to eventually film their planned finale, and disagreeing on the future of Cookie and Lucious.
According to Taraji, it is a pretty sad way to end the Empire. This is because she feels they have already developed a family over the years and they are saying goodbye in the wrong way. They did not throw a party and it also did not get to hug them goodbye.
