Nia Long is set to appear in a recurring role for season 3 of “Empire.”

Long’s character will be Giuliana (Giusi), a queenpin who runs a club in Las Vegas and isn’t shy about underground dealings to get ahead–including securing a deal with Empire Records. She can take on Lucious and Cookie on her own turf, and like so many others, she does this all while reconciling with her own past.

What do you think, Grio fam? Are you excited for the new season?
