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.

more needed ..its sweet
Just when I got started to really enjoy it ended.
I am really upset it ended too soon.
There must definatitely be a season 4 atleast….the show was a great one indeed . Season 4 please!
Yes, I would like another season (at least one) of Tyrant. I think I got to watch the first season in its first run, but then, I think we had to get rid of our cable, and I wasn’t able to watch the other two seasons. When I recently found it again on hulu, like Kimberly, I was so surprised to see it only had 3 seasons. It is so different from other programs on tv, and I echo Kimberly’s comments, but I also agree with Hardy, about the way the series ended. It was very unsatisfying; nothing really got… Read more »
I just came across this series on Hulu. The acting is amazing, the storylines compelling and relatable. I wish I had know about it sooner. Really hope it returns.
The show was very good and such good actors but ended TERRIBLE. Should have another season
