The singer will make her long-awaited debut on the Fox hit as an artist who collaborates with Jamal
It’s finally happening: After two seasons of speculation, Mariah Carey will appear on the third season of Empire. Fox co-chariman Dana Walden made the announcement during her TCA panel Monday in Beverly Hills.
Carey will pay a singer named Kitty who collaborates with Jamal
(Jussie Smollett) at Empire and helps him craft an “explosive new song.”
She will appear on the Oct. 5 episode.
Empire co-creator Lee Daniels, a close personal friend of Carey’s, has teased an appearance by the singer for the past couple of seasons. At
the beginning of season 2, Daniels told EW that Carey wanted them to
craft a character for her and not play herself. “I think it would be
great to play her but she doesn’t want to play her so that’s what we’re
doing,” said Daniels last September. “She’s giving us the hard
assignment of trying to create a character which we’re doing right
now.”
Empire’s third season premieres Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
