The series finale of Tyrant aired just last night, but could it continue elsewhere? Recently, Deadline spoke with executive producer Howard Gordon about the future of the cancelled FX series.
The drama followed the story of an unassuming American family that’s drawn into the inner workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. The cast included Adam Rayner, Ashraf Barhom, Moran Atias, Jennifer Finnigan, Anne Winters, and Noah Silver.
In the interview, Gordon says there are more stories to tell on the series:
Of course I think there is more there. But we also knew this season was a make-or-break year so in fairness we were trying to serve two masters by making tonight’s show a series ender and something at the same time that wouldn’t foreclose on the future. That’s always a tricky thing, but I think we did a good job on that.”
He also mentioned that there are conversations happening regarding a fourth season:
That’s above or out of my pay grade, but we’ve talked about a couple of places. I don’t know how realistic any of them are. We’ve just begun those conversations now so you know I’ll know more in the next few weeks. Right now, honestly, I don’t know.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Tyrant? Would you like a fourth season?
My opinion why Tyrant didnt do well is that it wasn’t advertised well. I accidentally found it. Great characters and show. I want season 4.
Please bring back Tyrant. excellent show
Breaks my heart it was cancelled. I have to say I thought it was at least on-par with, and sometimes better than Homeland, which I am also addicted to. Carrie’s craziness is getting old on Homeland, so I was actually refreshed by the different take on a similar situation with Tyrant. Season 3’s deaths made me cry and what an outstanding job Jennifer Finnigan has done playing the mother’s role this season. I also feel that Adam Rayner’s role is starting to become what his brother’s was even though he didn’t want it to. It’s a great show I really… Read more »
Please save Tyrant. One of the best shows on TV. Even at least a 2 part 4 hour movie, tying up all the loose end. Save this show NOW,,,
I can’t understand why this show would be cancelled to be honest. The acting is superb, the story is intelligent, thought provoking and exciting. Surely it must be under-utilized marketing or something because in a world where shows like Two Broke Girls isn’t cancelled exists and gets air… There is no excuse, no justification to cancel a show of this caliber.
Oh my gosh you are so right! I don’t see what people see in Two Broke Girls, (women anyway, my husband likes it for the brash large chested girl) stupid plot, not funny at all, and I like being mentally stimulated when I spend my precious few hours of free time watching a quality show like Tyrant. I really hope they keep it going.
Tyrant is my absolute favourite tv series of all time! Why is it cancelled? It has so many dimensions and it is real. This is what happens in many places in our world. The fight between the old ways and the new ways. The psychology of how people change under pressure. This series is the best ever!!
Will someone else please pick up tyrant….I am really looking forward to the 4th season.
Seriously, tyrant is amazing…can’t stop watching it,with the rate of deaths in the series hbo can take it:-) (our own game of thrones)
When jamal (ashraf) was killed there went the main character. He was to tyrant what JR was to Dallas. Bassam (Adam) just did not look the part. To bad the story content needed to be told.
Jamal should have never been killed. He was the main character. But dont cancel the show. Great show.
Love this show!! Surely someone else will pick it up for us faithful viewers. I was shocked when I saw the info bar said Series Finale instead of Season Finale. I and all of my friends who have not missed a single episode are hoping for a 4th season. By the way, the cast (both alive and ones killed off) has been awesome and talented. I shall watch for a renewal. Don’t let us down.
There are very few TV series that I’m actually excited to watch and waiting impatiently for the next season. Tyrant was one of those series that I really enjoyed and was certain that I’d be able to watch the entire season. I’m very sad to hear that it’s been cancelled, but I’ll continue checking to see if anyone else picks it up and I’ll certainly be following it wherever we might be able to watch it.
Wow really saddened to see it go. I thought for the most part season three was a bit more content and sexual heavy than the first two seasons. I don’t know if they were trying too hard or they were just feeding us a little more and more reality information at a time. I think the storyline is good and I feel like the twists and turns that took place in season 3 we’re definitely gripping to me, and I’m really surprised that more people aren’t watching it. I felt like overall the deaths or writeouts of cast members that… Read more »
The show has been CANCELLED, and I hear absolutely NOTHING about anybody else being interested. Maybe you should all pray for a miracle.
Oh, well, if this guy hasn’t heard anything, then it’s over for sure.
Please renew tyrant for another. I love the show and will follow it wherever it is renewed. Many of my friends feel the same way.
Please, someone. pick up Tyrant for another season! It’s so good!
I am anxious to see season 4 in circulation, my friends that i gave them the previous seasons to watch are pressurizing me to get the next season. Please we need the season 4.
