When is the next season of The Empress coming out?
The Empress is listed as an ongoing series with a "Returning Series" production status, but the next episode or season has not yet been given a firm air date in the official schedule. The most recent episode aired on November 22, 2024, so any future release date is likely to fall after that. Looking at previous seasons, gaps between seasons have often been well over a year, so it may take some time before the next season arrives. When the next release does arrive, it is expected to carry the same content rating of TV-MA (US), which can influence when it airs on different providers and platforms.
