Empire

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 9 p.m. on Fox

Season finale
Season 5 has been a roller coaster on screen and off, and that continues with the “emotional” conclusion. The finale features Andre (Trai Byers) clinging to life, while a confrontation between Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) could end their marriage and her loyalty. And we still have that mysterious flash-forward death to solve. “We finally learn who’s in the coffin, and it sends shockwaves through the Lyon clan that will reverberate through next season and beyond,” teases showrunner Brett Mahoney. “Have your hankies ready. You will need them.” —Derek Lawrence
