EMPIRE: Jennifer Hudson and Rita Ora to Guest Star

EMPIRE is adding a few more high profile guest stars to its already-impressive guest star list: Jennifer Hudson and Rita Ora will appear on the Fox hit, a rep for the show has confirmed. E! was first to report the casting, and notes there is no word yet on who the women will be playing.

The musical smash — which has already been renewed for a second season — follows Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), whose illness has prompted him to find a quick successor to his musical empire. In the mix are his ex-wife, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), who is newly free after spending nearly two decades in jail and their kids, Hakeem (Bryshere Gray), Jamal (Jussie Smollett), and Andre (Trai Byers), and Lucious’ new love, Anika (Grace Gealey).
