Empire Spoilers Tease Spinoff: Lee Daniels Sends Out Casting Call For All Girl Singing Group, And A Transgender!

An Empire spin-off could be coming sooner than you expected! Empire spoilers tease that show creator Lee Daniels already has a spin-off in the works for the wildly popular FOX drama – and he is casting a transgender star! The monster that is Empire has become a bigger hit than anyone ever predicted, and the TV show following the Lyons Family and their music label has phenomenal ratings. It only makes sense that Daniels would want to capitalize on the show’s buzz right now and crank out another hit drama.

According to a new report from Naughty Gossip, the Empire spin-off is already in the early stages – and Lee Daniels is currently pitching another pilot. The website exclusively reveals, “The cast is 18-year-olds and include a transgender actress.

The hope is that they will become the new Destiny’s Child. Daniels wants to become a major player in the music business and knows a hit TV show will make that happen.” Naughty Gossip goes on to say that Lee Daniels has already sent out casting notices – calling for 18 year olds with acting and singing experience of all nationalities, and specifically a transgender.

Ironically, in the latest episode of Empire on FOX, there was actually a storyline focusing on putting together an all girl singing group, but that plan fell through. Already we can see some major crossover potentials for the Empire spinoff and the new pilot. Maybe the girls could sign with one of the Lyon Family’s competitors and Cookie could try to steal them?

So Empire fans, are you as excited as we are about the new spinoff? Do you think it will be as big of a hit as FOX’s Empire? Who would you like to see join the star-studded cast of Daniels’ new pilot? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
