‘Empire’ Season 4 Won’t Be ‘Any Less Sexy’ in Earlier Time Slot, Lee Daniels Promises

The shift to a self-starter time slot doesn’t have show producers scared, they assured TV critics Tuesday at a press event.

Asked about the move to a more family friendly time slot and whether that will force to show to become “any less sexy,” creator, writer and executive producer Lee Daniels initially answered this way: “We get to get off earlier,” only semi-joking it seems.

Daniels, Chaiken, executive producer Sanaa Hamri and cast members Jussie Smollett, Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson were in attendance at the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom afternoon media press event.
