🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨 Empire said goodbye (for now) to Lucious and Cookie Lyon, sending them off during the series finale.

. The show is in such a unique spot because it isn't returning next year. How much did you have to tweak this episode so it could still serve as a fulfilling series finale? It was a great deal of work because this isn't what we intended to be a series finale. We shut down as we were in the middle of shooting our penultimate episode -- episode 19 -- and so we still had half of 19 and we had all of our intended series finale [left to film].

. What conversations have you all had regarding that? What are the chances of that actually happening someday? I think it was tremendously difficult in the sense that Jussie is such a big part of the show, especially when it's a family show. He is a very important member of the family, so it was very difficult to think of closing and ending the series without him.

What was the original ending for Jamal if things had played out differently? Did you have that scene in mind? Yeah. Because you have to think about the way this show is and the way that the creators designed the show so that he could be fearless. You have to think that everything could have been on the table.

What I will say is I'm not quite clear he could reconcile with Teri, just in the sense that Teri has been through a lot. But I do think that he will have smoother waters moving forward. He's going to find happiness and he's going to find happiness in the sense that he is going to be a stable influence and be able to raise his son and be in his son's life. And that's the happy ending that we've given him.

So I guess the proper ending is never coming if that’s the case show was definitely ruined by the ending it had.

Where is the proper ending?!
