Empire: Lucious and Tariq related scoop on season 3 from TVLine's Michael Ausiello

Here's some scoop on Empire from this week's (Posted on 6/9/16) Ask Ausiello column.

Question: What’s the deal with Empire‘s Tariq? Is he supposed to be good or bad? —Jacquie
Ausiello: Ask as simple question, get, well, a somewhat complex answer. “Tariq thinks he’s a good guy — and that Lucious is a bad guy,” says EP Ilene Chaiken, when the subject of Morocco Omari’s character comes up. “But Lucious, of course, doesn’t see it that way at all.” Whatever the case may be, Chaiken warns that Lucious’ new nemesis will be a major player in Season 3. “Tariq is very motivated, and he has a very personal grievance against Lucious. He’s not just a fed who wants to make his bones taking down Lucious Lyon — he’s Lucious’ half-brother,” she notes. “We’ll peel away layers of his story and learn why he’s coming so hard after Lucious. Hopefully, the last scene of the [Season 2] finale gave you a taste of that — that he has a real bone to pick with Lucious.”
