Star Season 2.

Like it's parent show Empire, season 2 of Star has just been supersized, this week it's episode order has risen to 18. Meaning we will likely see the series in two parts, half this year, the other half 2018.

Empire generally starts September, wraps early December and returns the following March, will this be the same for this FOX series?

Star picks up where the brilliant season one wrapped with lives in the balance and more drama than an episode of Sophie Monk and the Australian men wanting a media/modelling career show.

Star has never lived up to it's parent Empire but it did start with a rather lame crossover. This despite Naomi Campbell starring in Star as Rose Spencer-Crane and Empire as (the now deceased) Camilla Marks-Whiteman. Increasing she has a double barrel surname in each series.

So where does Star see it's main girl band in season 2? Star, Simone and Alex start off with a troubled slow start to their career, however I feel life is about to get better for the three piece.

Mike Epps & Jussie Smollett make nice additions in episode one and something tells me there will be some more special guest stars to make season two watchable.





The music sequences are fun and it's hard not to imagine Queen Latifah in anything other than the brilliant Girls Trip but she is great as Carlotta Brown the queen of wigs in this season.

Amiyah Scott as Cotton is also another stand out and Benjamin Bratt may still be in the mix. But you must tune into to find this out for yourselves.

It's peak US TV season again so check back regularly for more TV reviews and news from this TV freak.
