The show's season 2 finale was a thrilling cliffhanger and fans are still speculating what could possibly happen in the coming "Empire" season 3 premiere. Luckily, there are a lot of "Empire" season 3 spoilers currently doing the rounds, one of which will be discussed below.
Anika Vs Rhonda
Nobody could forget that scene in last season's finale where Anika and Rhonda choose, of all places, the rooftop to fight. In the end, the only thing audiences heard was someone screaming which one can only assume to be the last scream of someone falling off the building. However, it was not really shown who fell. Of course, the question on everyone's mind is, which character will remain when "Empire" season 3 air date comes?
Fans are hoping that no one actually got hurt would be disappointed. According to "Empire" season 3 spoilers, only one of the two ladies makes it to the next season.
Ilene Chaiken, Empire showrunner, spilled the beans to Variety and revealed that one of the ladies died as a result of that epic rooftop catfight. But Chaiken was coy, not really revealing who died and who will be back when "Empire" season 3 air date arrives.
However, "Empire" season 3 spoilers indicate that it could not possibly be Anika who gets written off the show. The common assumption is that Anika brings the necessary drama to the show and therefore, is too valuable to be disposed of when "Empire" season 3 premieres.
Of course, it is entirely possible that Rhonda could be the survivor. With no one from the show really talking in specifics, the only way to really know is to see the "Empire" season 3 premiere.
