Revealing bits of "Empire" season 2, executive producer Ilene Chaiken said that Cookie starts a new life as she tries to bring back her family together.

"I'm excited to continue to explore character, and to learn more about the past as we go into the future.

One of her main drives has been to bring her family back together, and she suffered a bit of a setback," Chaiken told Variety.

"She lost her relationship with her most beloved son, and I want to see how Cookie resolves that or regains her relationship with Jamal. I want to see what Jamal does with his new position and his gangster status."

"One of her main drives has been to bring her family back together, and she suffered a bit of a setback," she said.
