Last year, Tyrant didn’t bring in very good ratings but the FX execs decided to give it more time and renewed the show for a second season. Will the numbers get better in season two? How long will the cable channel remain patient if they don’t? Will the drama be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
Tyrant revolves around the youngest son of a dictator who returns to his war-torn country in the Middle-East with his American family. This season, the drama’s cast includes Adam Rayner, Jennifer Finnigan, Ashraf Barhom, Moran Atias, Alice Krige, Alexander Karim, Cameron Gharaee, and Sybilla Deen.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Tyrant TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love Tyrant! One of best shows now.
I love Tyrant please bring it back for another season..
I love Tyrant. One of my top 2 favorites on tv right now. This show would be doing so much better in ratings if FX marketed it more. It is so current and closely resembles actual events that this world is facing today in the Middle East. Come on FX. Get on your game and promote this show more. You will be happy with the results.
I love the show but it will probably go the route of the The following on fox and get cancelled. Unfortunately the viewing public is a very ignorant bunch that prefers stupid sitcoms and reality shows to well scripted and original dramas. Kudos to FX for the show but I doubt with the ratings if it will be renewed.
I love this show. I hope they will renew for another season and if not, Neflix should get it. FX should have done a better job marketing this show.
Tyrant is a great show with excellent character development. I watch it every week and can only hope the ratings are good enough to bring it back next year. I wish the show had been marketed better.
Excellent show with some great acting, in particular from Ashraf Barhom who is outstanding by any standand. . Its unusual because it is also educating about developments in the Mid. East. I do hope that it will be renewed!
Love Tyrant. It gets better every week. Please renew it. I’d hate to see it go the way of The Bridge, another terrific show.
Tyrant should defineately be renewed for a third season. The plot has twists and keeps the viewer intrigued. There are real life, Middle-Eastern type themes and situations. Drama, sociopathic characters, battle situations and beautiful women like Moran Atias. I’m continuously suprised by each episode and eagerly anticipate the next one. F/X needs to increase frequency and scale of promotion of Tyrant. It can be a hit, I think, with encore performances and an overall hit/type of mentality behind the ptomotion of it.
I love Tyrant. It is my favorite show.Please try at least one more season.
I look the show
I agree. This is the best show going and I know so many people who watch and love this show. I don’t understand the ratings though. I know a few reasons why the ratings would be a little lower and that is because so many people I talk to now actually don’t watch it until the end of the season. Then they go to Netflix or another site and watch the whole season at one time, instead of having to wait every week for a new episode. That explains why they don’t get all there ratings at once.

I started watching Season 2 in hopes that the flaws of Season 1 would be corrected, but things have only gotten worse. The storylines don’t feel original or fresh (long-lost son, faked death, rumors that drive life-and-death decisions), and some of the characters are still off-putting like the useless, ignorant, entitled and annoying American children. I’ve been missing episodes, but from what I’ve seen, I’m not inspired to get back in and fill in the blanks.
Absolutely my new favorite show. Homeland has moved to #2. I can’t imagine why the ratings are low. I have a lot of friends watching now and everyone loves it!!! I definitely don’t think the marketing is good on TNT. All the cast members are phenomenal. Love the whole story concept! I usually record it and watch it a few times. GREAT SHOW!!! Please keep it going.
I think that Tyrant is one of the best shows I have come across in forever! I work full time as an educator and work on my Masters on line in the evenings. Tyrant is the ONLY show I will allow myself the luxury of watching. I have recruited other colleagues to watch the show because it is so on point with current events.
Anyhow, please don’t cancel and keep the level of integrity up there.
Thanks,
Diane
i love the show…the best show on tv this current season.
