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.
Hoping to see a fourth season. Love this show!!!!!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK
The show is relevant and insightful. shedding light on the complex problems facing the Middle East. It should be continued, and needs to be given more publicity.
Please bring Tyrant back. The show is awesome!
Loved the show. Very sad it’s over.
Yes this is a good show. It should continue. Why do these executives always cancel good shows. It’s very sad.
I can’t believe you canceled one of your best shows you air, why are the good story shows always canceled? This is a shame, I guess if Netflix picks it up they will be getting more of my business….thinking I just might cancel TV and just stream everything… how disappointing
Yes – please bring back Tyrant – it was one of our favorite shows – it was different – thought provoking – so interesting – good acting and writing. Please.
Yes – please bring back Tyrant – it was one of the best shows in the last couple of years – different – provocative – interesting – common guys – we need more shows like this.

This is not happening, Tyrant is one of the best series. Bring it back. It has me glued everytime I watch it. I find myself re-watching the seasons. Bring it back, Please.
I am so disappointed that Tyrant won’t be returning. I wasn’t crazy about season 3, but I thought it still had a great following.
Please bring back the show I love it, it was my favorite, my favorite shows are always cancelled! I don’t understand that these days.
Please bring it back. Best series in ages. Edge of your seat drama
