One of the most famous TV mothers of all time is about to play another show-stopping matriarch.
Joining the cast of Empire for season three is legendary actress Phylicia Rashad, who’ll be playing the wealthy Diana Dubois.
Diana’s son, Angelo to be played by Taye Diggs, is a prominent New York politician and a new love interest for Cookie Lyon Taraji P. Henson.
As the mother of an ambitious city councilman, Rashad’s character has her sights set on higher office for her only son and she’ll stop at nothing to groom him—even if that means keeping her conservative son away from hooking up with the uncompromising, boisterous, “total badass” that is Cookie.
