Emmy-nominated series Empire is back on our TV screens with cameos from the likes of Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker alongside its all-star cast, which includes Golden Globe winner Taraji P Henson and Oscar nominee Terrence Howard, who plays music mogul Lucious Lyon.

Lyon’s home in the show, otherwise known as 45 Lakeview Lane, is for sale with Christie’s International Real Estate.

This five-bedroom house boasts lavish, old-world style, including a glass-sided turret. In prestigious Barrington Hills, Illinois, it stands in eight acres with two lakes and a pool, and though it is only an hour away from all the buzz of Chicago, it’s still an oasis of privacy.

If you don’t want to venture out, it comes with a theatre, gym and poker room. The asking price is £7.3 million.
