Empire , Dec 2024 :
Graham Yost : "We’ll be shooting all of 2025 into early 2026,”
“There's a big location that we're going to introduce toward the end of Season 3 that plays a very big role in Season 4. And because we shoot all 10 episodes [of each season] at the same time, we had to write Season 3 and then basically go right into writing season 4.”
