Empire comes roaring back to Fox at the end of March, but you don't have to wait that long to finally get a glimpse at new footage. Spoiler alert: It is ON between Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and Yoko Camilla (Naomi Campbell).

In the trailer below, get a look at all the changes that are coming. Are you ready for the reign of Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray)?

"The heart of Empire is its family," Terrence Howard's Lucious says in voiceover. But the Lyon family is divided. Can they come together to reclaim what's theirs? "When the family is in crisis, they come together," he says.

There's a standoff with police, lots of crying and yelling and lots of Cookie barbs. And we still don't know what's happened with Rhonda (Portia Doubleday).

Empire has been ripe with guest stars during its second season. So far Marisa Tomei, Rosie O'Donnell, Vivica A. Fox, Alicia Keys, Andre Royo, Chris Rock, Adam Rodriguez and more have all made appearances. In the second half of the season, rapper Xzibit will appear as Leslie "Shyne" Johnson, a man equally mixed up with music as he is the criminal element.

Empire returns Wednesday, March 30 on Fox.
