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, bring Tyrant back. We’ve been waiting all winter for it!!!
Yes…please bring the show back! We loved it!
Please bring the a show back!
I hope the show returns. I enjoyed watching it. I didn’t watch season one as I couldn’t develop a connection with the first episode, but I thought I’d try again with the Season Two oener. I’ve watched ever since!
Tyrant … one of our favorite show … different and compelling… I’d watch it wherever it got picked up. Maybe it wasn’t advertised enough because there are a lot of the same crap on tv and they shove it down our throats to watch… hopeing Tyrant comes back… so many ways this show could go
It was too political and I think that’s why. I looked forward to Tyrant. It seems like any show that is political or religious like Dominion, another great show, are the first to go
REALLY GOOD SHOW. DON’T CANCEL IT. NEED CLOSURE OF ALL THE PLOT LINES. HOPE YOU WILL BRING IT BACK ON FX OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Yes there needs to be a season 4!!!!
It is a Great story reflects goings on in todays middle east…Bring it back
The 3rd Season was really horible,I lost intrest when the president died,1 and 2 was Epic,I dont see how the show will remain intresting without the president,its just not intresting anymore
Tyrant is a wonderful show about the Middle
Eastern culture. It is a GREAT story and should be continued!!
Tyrant was my favorite show on TV, so I’m devastated!
Loved this show was looking forward to it coming back, hope it makes it somewhere else
very very upset, please do reconsider would love that
Just learned Tyrant is not returning. Very upset. Was glued to the series. Loved it!!. Please reconsider and bring it back.
