'Empire' to Conclude on Fox With Sixth and Final Season The music drama program's last go-around will consist of 20 episodes. Its time slot will remain at 9 PM and the show will now air on Tuesday nights. Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier As of now, Collier says there are no plans for Jussie Smollett to appear in season 6. The actor was written out of the show during the final episodes of the most recent season. The move was over Chicago authorities accusing Smollett of staging an attack on himself. Due to the network extending his option for the show's sixth season, there is a possibility Smollett may return.
