Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Lee Daniels – creator and executive producer of Empire – partners with Tom Donaghy (“The Whole Truth”) to pull back the curtain on music’s gritty and dark reality in Star.

Star follows three talented singers, desperate for a new start and with ambitions of stardom, as they navigate the cut-throat music business on their road to success.

The show features a soundtrack of original music.

The show debuts December 14 at 9 p.m. on FOX, following Empire. (Check out the trailer below.)

This looks interesting. A quest for fame.

At any rate, it could be the perfect companion for Empire on FOX, with the music biz (& the same producer) a common thread.
