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.
Brilliant show.The best ever.Come on Netflix.Don’t leave us hanging out to dry.Season 4 please?????
An absolutely brilliant show.We are so disappointed that there will not be a Season 4? How can the producers leave fans hanging in suspense like this? Like a fantastic book without an ending? Shame!!!!!Come on Netflix.This is an extraordinary show with millions of fans.
I hope netflix lands the deal to give us tyrant sn 4. This was the mother of all
This was my favorite show. I am so disappointed. Hopeful .Netflix will pick it up.
I love this show…if it is renewed I will follow it….should never have been cancelled…these actors did a great job of showing us the inside of dictatorship……things that I had actually never thought about. It is an eye opener,,, made me even more proud to be an American ….with freedoms.
We love tyrant!!
This show definitely needs to be renewed. If FX doesn’t renew Netflix or Hulu should. Awesome show please renew!!
Omg, I’m shocked! No way!!!!! Depression mode now. Are you serious? Definitely one of my favorite shows ever.
Season 4 is a must!
I would love for the show to be continued. D show has a lot of people hooked, and it would be a shame for it to stop now.
Love this show. Season 3 was a bit off course and Dahliyah’s character was preachy and unbelievable but despite this, the show is great!
Season 4 please!!!!
Please please please have a season 4! There’s a big void on Wednesdays now! It’s was an exotic albeit flawed series but definitely fascinating & should be back on because of its uniqueness. I agree Jamal shouldn’t have died but I still loved it!
Season 4 is a mustttt!!! I really hope they renew it its one of the few interesting series left on television !
Definitely want to see a series 4.
Tyrant was a great show; but sadly the writers lost their way and without Jamal to play against Bassam the writers were adrift in the water. The writers also allowed Bassam to morph back into wimpy tired Barry. I had changed my mind about Molly after she saved Bassam; but the writers turned her into the Bette Davis character from “What ever happened to Baby Jane”. Sadly the show’s been canceled, but I’ll always have season’s one and two, but I’ll keep looking at season 3 just to see Bassam and Daliyah memories.
