EMPIRE (FOX) - Co-creators Lee Daniels and Danny Strong have released statements about next week's de facto finale for the series, indicating they ultimately hope to film a proper swan song. Said Daniels: "The success of Empire and bringing the Lyon family to broadcast television will always be one of the proudest achievements of my career. This show is the definition of breaking barriers. Thank you to our incredible cast, especially Terrence and Taraji, along with our amazing writers and tireless crew, for all of their hard work and bringing this story to life. I think there's more to do with these characters, and I'm heartbroken we aren't getting to shoot the finale we wanted - at least not yet. But you know what they say in television? Stay tuned! To the Empire!" Strong added: "We're so proud of this show and of everything this incredible cast - led by Taraji and Terrence - and crew accomplished over six seasons. The episode airing on April 21 was never meant to be the series finale, but due to current events it will likely be the last one our fans will see for a while. We had an ending for the series planned that we all loved, and hopefully someday we'll be able to film it and give the series its proper conclusion. But we hope everyone tunes in to our last original episode, because the work done by our cast and crew deserves to be seen by the widest audience possible. Big thank you to Fox for being our home for these many years. And here's hoping this isn't the end! (Deadline.com)
GOD FRIENDED ME (CBS) - The Eye has pulled the plug on the series after two seasons. "We're extremely proud of the unique concept and uplifting stories God Friended Me has told over the past two seasons," CBS and Warner Bros. Television said in a joint statement. "We thank the brilliant cast, writers, production team and crew for a show that stirred thoughtful conversation about faith, life and happiness, and made viewers feel good at the end of each episode. The creative team behind the show has one last "friend suggestion" in mind, as well as an ending we hope brings a satisfying conclusion to Miles' journey in search of the God Account." Look for the two-episode finale on Sunday, April 26 at 8:00/7:00c. (Deadline.com)
