The new hit family melodrama Empire, which debuted on Fox Jan. 7, has a line-up of guest celebrities to keep the momentum going, and its co-creator is looking for more.

Resonating with the hip hop generation, Empire is a “powerful new drama about the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne,” according to fox.com.

Golden Globe-winning actor Terrence Howard plays the family patriarch Lucious Lyon, and Oscar-nominated Taraji P. Henson plays his conniving ex-wife Cookie Lyon.

Denzel hasn't done television in 30 years.
