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.

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.
Season 4 of Tyrant should definitely be made and broadcasted on Netflix because the show apart from being entertaining and thrilling but it was also educational demonstrating the outcomes for an improper upbringing, hunger for power, and also the compomising of principles.

Most ppl I know couldn’t get to the off button or change the channel fast enough every time Hilary Clinton was shoved in front of us. It appeared you were trying to sell Hillary via Leighla. You shouldn’t have been surprised at the low numbers. I couldn’t stand the sight of Leighla. Well now, several years later I watched the series again and realized what a mistake we all made and what a great opportunity you have. Make… Read more »
Please continue
It can’t just finish after 3 series. Really enjoyed watching tyrant
Tyrant should be brought back the movie inspires, maybe it didn’t sell as it should have but, people who really have watched it would love to see it continue. Different movies hit different people in different ways.
You CAN’T STOP NOW! I’ve only just discovered it on Netflix Australia) and have binge-watched the whole bloody thing… only to discover it’s been canned! WTF! I am SO sick if this happening… at least give the damned thing an ending! That’s the LEAST you can do! Too many of these BRILLIANT shows end up getting axed, before we in Australia even get the CHANCE to catch up Stop doing this to us! I’m OVER it It happens ALL the time! There ARE other viewers OUTSIDE the US, you know… if only given the chance to SEE these shows
Shocking ending. Very wrong to pull the plug on a series which has been avidly followed by so many people. It is brilliant x
Series was so well done. The cancellation was shocking…like ending a movie or a book 3/4 of the way thru. Finish it!
Excellent series. please bring it back.
Please bring Tyrant back… Please!!!

I Believe Tyrant Should Return.It Was Very Intertanting.
