Actor Jussie Smollett isn't expected to return to 'Empire' next season, but the show still has an option to sign him -- meaning a return to the show isn't totally out of the realm of possibility

Actor Jussie Smollett isn’t expected to return to the Fox show “Empire” next season, the network said.

Fox has renewed the drama about a family-run musical empire for a sixth season and is bringing back the cast’s main players with the exception of Mr. Smollett. However, the show still has an option to sign Mr. Smollett, meaning a return to the show isn’t totally out of the realm of possibility.

Is this still newsworthy? The WSJ content can easily be supplied by 'AI'!

No

James Gunn 2.0. Jussie will come back to the show, for sure. Just watch.

Crooked people are everywhere!

Really cannot wait for the truth to come out on this one. Must be nice to pick up the phone call michelle Obama and have 16 grand jury counts thrown out for 16 hours of community service and 10000 dollars.

they extended his deal which means they will bring him back knowing all the publicity he has created with his devious mind...

No

The guy tried to start a race war...luckily there was no riots and no one was killed.

Why not, another piss poor actor

CNN will probably hire Jussie as a pundit.

If they hire him back then say goodbye to the show's ratings!

🙄

I hope this poor victim doesn’t lose him job poor thing!

Jail

Let's hope prosecutors undo their corrupt actions first.

He's a.....RACIST.....good thing he's black!

Why is the wall street journal turning into a gossip rag? For 'clicks' ?

No, just the realm of reasonable thinking.

Can we stop giving him attention?

Uh no. Bye.

He made such a mockery of Chicago and the CPD. I couldn't imagine living with such a lie. Just imagine the shame you would feel if you lied to so many people on such a scale. I wonder how Jussie even sleeps at night.

Bye

He'll be in jail.

He should not be on the show. Show some respect for networks like ABC who took an honorable action and fired Roseanne for her racist tweets. The network has a social responsibility to fire his ass bc he LIED about a hate crime.

Also makes it nearly impossible for him to accept roles of any substance elsewhere as long as that option remains. Good. I'm fine with never seeing him anywhere ever again.

When will this Abortion end

If that happened I would move to Canada. This hate crime creator, racist, lier and despicable individual should be behind bars. Obviously having powerful friends help. The same one who speak about the increase in hate crimes. Hypocrites!

He can film it in LA then, cause Chicago don’t want him!

This show is 💩 anymore. I cannot believe I actually used to watch it. Not no more ‼️ He’ll meet his maker one day.

Stopped watching since he wasn't removed!

And if the Queen had balls she'd be King

WHO CARES?!?

They will eventually. When ratings fall

No surprise. Bad behavior is rewarded in this country.

Racists! He was not only attacked but now he lost his job! May the Allah be with you Jussie! He will be new press secretary of White House when we win

I hope they have him return.

Jussie Smollett not expected to return to Fox's 'Empire' for sixth season'Empire' may have been renewed for a sixth season on Fox, but at least one actor won't be returning to the show. Jussie Smollett, who was arrested and accused of staging a phony hate crime against himself in March, is not going to be part of the musical drama next season. This is shocking. The lying self-absorbed idiot who damaged those who r truly hated on, and wasted so much police time and $ is not renewed? Can’t believe Empire wouldn’t want back such an outstanding human being!!! Why ever return? I’m confused Smollett option to renew was extended, but he won’t be in the 6 th season. What does that mean?
