Empire is the No. 1 show on broadcast TV so it was only a matter of time before questions about a spinoff came up.
Co-creator Lee Daniels said on Thursday that there will be a spin-off and that his team have already talked about the show.
At this point, there are no definite plans for a spinoff, but Daniels noted the strength of the show's large cast of characters. Although it won't be in the near future, there's still plenty of Empire to go around. After a 12-episode first season, Fox expanded the order for season two to 18 episodes.
Because there will be more episodes this season, Daniels also said that the pacing will slow down "a little" in season two.
