Fox’s Empire (Wednesday, 9 p.m. ET/PT), red-hot in its first season, has begun to show early signs of cooling. Though the show remains network TV’s top series among young adults by a mile, its audience has declined each week this fall, rather than build — as it did, impressively — last spring. Same-day viewership has dropped by more than 5 million since March’s big finale, marking the show’s smallest audience since Feb. 11.
But Empire is still averaging 16.7 million viewers, up 32% from its average for last season’s first four episodes, and has nearly double the young-adult crowd of ABC’s Scandal and NBC’s Blindspot, fall’s biggest new hit.
