According to E! News, Rowland will star in flashback scenes as Lucious Lyon’s mother. The flashbacks were a memorable part of the first season, with scenes of Jamal, played by Jussie Smollet, being put in a trash can to the moment where Taraji P. Henson’s character, Cookie, had to turn herself into prison to begin her 17-year sentence.

Season two is set to premiere on Sept. 23rd on FOX.
