Chris Rock’s doing hard time for season 2 of “Empire” … as an inmate alongside the man himself — Lucious Lyon.
“Empire” co-creator Lee Daniels posted a few photos from the first day of filming the new season … which we now know will feature Rock and Terrence Howard behind bars, playing chess.
Rock is the first of a parade of huge guest stars Daniels has lined up … Alicia Keys and Lenny Kravitz are also confirmed, but the big one — Oprah Winfrey — is still just rumored.
If there’s a God, O will be the prison warden!
