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.
My wife and I had put Tyrant on our best of the best Series for our friends to watch after we binged Season 1 & 2. Acting and Scenery were off the scale awesome. While watching Season 3, we picked up on the fact the the character ‘Sammy’ was basically an alternate lifestyle ‘Plug-In’. Sammy had no purpose, no job, no strengths, no interests, no gifts other than ‘sad eyes’ and a continuous ‘poor me’ defiance. Every time a scene came on with Sammy my wife and I would grown (at the same time), another leather jacket, skinny jeans, pouting,… Read more »
Really enjoyed it. Hope it continues.
I enjoyed the first 2 seasons of tyrant, but felt the storyline weakened considerably in season 3. It must be hard to maintain constructive believable story lines when a series runs and runs, thats what good scriptwriters are for, but season 3 totally lost it, so not really surprised they have turned off the cameras for season 4, i got tired of watching z list soap opera acting in the personal scenes, sammy was awful, , as said it went from believable to nonsense, such a shame
So sad to hear this great drama is cancelled
I didn’t see enough reason why the movie tyrant should be canceled but I tho hope the president reconsider in other for the return because I can’t wait to watch what bassam did at the end and am convinced Emma is not yet did
It’s a series that opens the eyes about difficult powers at play in the middle east and helps foreigners understand Italian not all black and white. You can’t help yourself think that there must be a way to avoid catastrophes and hope for peace
Tyrant season 4 is when?
I think it is very good story that should not be ended prematurely that way. Will be happy if it continues.
Yes so very much
Yes. Found it very fascinating. Brings real issues to the forefront.
Yesss I loved it kept it interesting all the way to end more please!!!
Tyrant is a great show. Full of excitement and drama. Please bring it back. The story needs to be told in totality.
This has been one of the best tv shows it is authentic and truly inspiring and in keeping with modern day happenings. I do hope there will be another season.i don’t think it is due track of audience but rather too sensitive that no one touch it.
O
This has been one of the best dramas I’ve seen in a long time , excellent acton on all parts, probably very close to some of the problems in the Middle East , it took no prisoners, and it didn’t have the Hollywood happy ever after, can only hope the producers can come up with a season 4
Yes, there definitely needs to be a season. This show is such an interesting plot line and it’s so well acted. You can’t be left where it is right now without closure. Please, make another season!
