Tyrant was cancelled after just three seasons on FX, and the reasons behind the shocking cancellation have now been revealed. Bert Salke, the FOX 21 President, spoke about those reasons with The Hollywood Reporter.
Salke said the following:
“We knew after the second year and were really aware that for a show we felt so strongly about — and the fan base felt so strongly about — that the numbers weren’t commensurate with the base for the show. Nobody was more aware than the FX people and John wanted to get in front of it. Chris, Howard and the studio went in with very open eyes and hoping for the best. We were getting behind it the same way we do every year and preparing for any number of outcomes. There were no surprises.”
There is hope that the series will return. Tyrant is being actively shopped to streaming services. It could land on Netflix or Hulu.
Do you want a fourth season of Tyrant? Tell us what you think.
Yes we want a fourth season
We have been very much looking forward to this amazing drama based on fact with the addition of enough romance and story line to make it oh so interesting. It’s a well written drama in a time when there is so little on TV worth watching anymore. The actors are terrific, the clothing beautiful; truly elegant, and the villains versus good guys always makes for wonderful TV! Please bring it back!
This is a very entertaining program. It’s a slap in the face to the writers to not have picked this up again to finish off the storyline. It most definitely gave my family something to look forward to on FX. We know ratings make or break programs, try putting more money in promoting it than just a one min. commercial. Too frustrating!!!!
I have bought 3 Seasons of Tyrant. You left me with an anxious mind. There is so much still to find out! Please place in FX channel again.
Please season 4 is a must,,,,,
I found to show to be engaging and pertinent to conflicts today. I feel it is not finished. There is no conclusion. I would like to see at least one more season.
I loved this show. I hope it finds a new home.
More than ever we need the show Tyrant. I do think the story is interesting, but also it provides and insight how volatile the Mid East is.
I am shocked this has been cancelled. I looked forward to this show. Please renew.
Please find a new home for Tyrant. It is a show that has broken ground in so many ways. This show is current, intelligent and exciting! There is not another show on television with better scripts or more amazing caring and the current arc has at least a couple of more seasons of excitement left in it. Please find another network willing to continue the life of this entertaining and revealing show!
Please bring it back for a 4th season. You cant leave us hanging like that. Please please please bring it back,
The tv moguls have taken all my shows off: Tyrant, Dominion, Under the Dome, Resserction, and there are others that had no closure. I am waiting for them to also cancel other good shows like Vikings and Bates Motel and Sleepy Hollow. I personally am tired of reality shows and gator killings, or how the spoiled rich kids live it up or being chased by the undead in 2p different ways
Please bring it back we loved the show……
Yes. We want more Tyrant. Loved the show. Pls bring it back somewhere!!
Bring it back !! Pleasssssseeeeeeee 4th Season
It’s good that it was cancelled. It just went in an implausible direction. It’s extremely unlikely that a couple of progressive, do-gooder doctors from California would suddenly abandon their humanitarian ideals and turn into bloodthirsty dictators of an unstable Muslim country, even after witnessing the brutal murder of their daughter at the hands of terrorists. I could see maaaaaaybe Basam since he was born and raised in that environment, but definitely NOT his wife, and she was the one who went full Lady MacBeth and pushed him into brutality. No. Just no. I live in Boston, and the victims and… Read more »
It’s a show for heavens sake. Don’t take it so personal!!!
Not only a good show but educational!
