“Empire” Season 5 To Return 26th September, New Actors Announced

Empire New Season To Premiere on Fox on September 26; “Popular Face” Announced as New Cast Member For Season 5

Empire is taking on a new recurring character. The hit show welcomes singer Mario to the cast for its fifth season. New episodes of the hit musical drama are set to air on Fox on Wednesday, September 26.

Waiting for Empire Season 5 has been like forever right? ????

Mario’s character is described as “an earnest, up-and-coming R&B singer who supports his ailing sister.” Both Empire Records and Lyon Family Management will be placing bids on the artist, competing to sign him as a new act under one of their rosters. This upcoming season follows the Lyon family’s journey towards regaining the empire they lost at the end of the last season. See That HERE.

Fans of singer, Mario will be looking to enjoy his acting talents because His role as Miles Darby in the 2006 production of Step Up might be his most high-profile acting offering until now.

On the musical front however, Mario has been making waves since his debut, a self-titled record that dropped in 2002 and became gold certified. He is most known for his earlier hits, such as “Just a Friend 2002” and “Let Me Love You,” which is actually my personal favourite from his second album titled “Turning Point,” a 2004 release.
