Decider

Henson said on The View this morning she speaks to Smollett "all the time" and the actor is "doing well." She added: "We’re all doing well. The show is doing well. We’re on hiatus right now. The writers are trying to figure out what the next season is gonna look like, what our storyline is gonna be. They’re trying to drum up some really good, juicy stuff for you guys. So that’s where we are right now.”
