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.

Just one of the best shows on TV. Current, interesting & not run of the mill. What a shame.
I lived in the middle east for 4 years in the 70’s. This is an excellent representation of daily life there. I truly hope the series is picked up by someone. Expertly acted and overall production is beyond professional!
This is so crazy! I am such a fan it is an amazing show. I have never wanted to ” go to bat” for a show more than this one. Please tell me this is not so.
If you put that much effort in to a show, as you did with Tyrant, you need to finish it! I expected many more seasons! It was unique and I really expected it to be complete! Especially because it was on FX, a station that usually doesn’t wimp out and has provided us such fantastic viewing such as Fargo!
Yes! Please bring it back. I just discovered it on Hulu!
Please bring back another season. Great show. Why cancel.
One of the most unique shows with a stellar cast. Definately very very disappointed. Please bring it back. Theres nothing like this out there
Another amazing show axed leaving faithful viewer’s with no resolutions whu6 Fx should have been proud along wiyj6 doing the Americans why not move to Netflix or HBO? If ncis game of thrones homeland can find slots why not properly finish Tyrant??
I really enjoyed the show. So fascinating to see the other cultures.
I’m so sad that Tyrant was cancelled. Love the show, the story line, the actors, the beautiful costumes, the setting, the palace(s) and some of the culture aspects that most Americans are so unaware of. I’d love for you to bring it back.
