Reality television star Amiyah Scott has reportedly been recruited to appear in an upcoming television show spin-off of “Empire.”

According to reports, “Empire” producer Lee Daniels reached out to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” transgender celeb back in August about potentially teaming up.

Our production sources say Daniels loved Amiyah’s look and thought she’d be perfect for one of the singers in a girl group. The spin-off is a prequel to “Empire,” showcasing a young Cookie Lyon. We’re assuming her look was more important than her acting chops … she’s never acted before, but she’s getting a crash course with some acting coach hot shots. (TMZ)

Earlier this year, Fox TV Group co-chief Dana Walden said an “Empire” spinoff could come together as early as 2016 and possibly focus on actress Taraji P. Henson‘s character Cookie’s early days.

“If there’s a character … that feels original enough, has enough momentum and enough of a storytelling engine, we will definitely look to spin Empire off for next season,” she said. Said character, Walden added, “would, in all likelihood, appear in the second half of this season.” (Vulture)

Back in August, show producer Lee Daniels revealed his interest in a spinoff.

“Without question,” the series’ co-creator and executive producer said to a panel of TV critics Thursday. “There’s so much ripe story that we’ve talked about already, about Cookie’s family, what makes her her. That in itself is fascinating to me.” (New York Post)
