The stars of Fox’s series “Empire” kick back in style at the West Village’s Up and Down Club in a stylish shoot for Friday’s Entertainment Weekly.

They had reason to celebrate, with their show pulling in 13.8 million viewers Wednesday — a huge jump from the 9.9 million who saw its Jan. 7 debut.

The actors — Jussie Smollett, Bryshere Y. Gray, Terence Howard, Taraji P. Henson and Trai Byers — star as the Lyons, a family in the hip-hop business.

Howard and Henson star as the clan’s leaders.

“This is that deep love that you can’t explain” Henson tells the mag. “Terrence and I have that for each other.”
