Taraji P. Henson's Cookie Will Get an 'Empire' Spinoff Series

Taraji P. Henson is gorgeous in green while sitting on stage at the Empire panel held during the Fox portion of the 2015 Summer TCA Tour on Thursday (August 6) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 44-year-old actress was joined by the show’s executive producers Lee Daniels, Brian Grazer, and Ilene Chaiken.

It was at the panel that Lee revealed a spinoff based on a young Cookie will be coming soon.

“There is going to be a spinoff from Empire, without question,” he said (via TV Line). “There’s so much ripe story that we’ve talked about already�” about Cookie’s family, what makes her her. That in itself is fascinating to me.”
