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.
AMAZING series! I think it is thought provoking in that it offers some insight on the complexities of the Middle East. This, built into a story line provides compelling viewership. I hope to see it continue.
One of the best series ever. Finish what you started instead of leaving us all hanging.
I can’t believe there is no Season 4! If I had known that the story wouldn’t be finished, I wouldn’t have invested so many hours watching it. I would guess that it would be hard to continue where it was left off now since the last Season was 2016 – 7 years of ageing might be difficult to hide?! I’m not happy.
Of course people want to see the end, who invest all that time in a story to not how story ends. This is what I hate about network tv no regard for people invested 3seasons . You knew you weren’t making money make 4 or six episodes and finish the darn story. That’s all you get now a days big Flashy over budget stories they can’t finish. They admit they knew season 2 or 3 what’s the harm in a couple episodes extra and wrapping up the series. Cause we are just pawns if it makes them more money sure… Read more »
Not got to Season 3 yet. Just have to binge watch it, it’s so good. Keep it coming.
I was spellbound by Tyrant. I binged on it for days only to be left dangling in the wind at the end of Season 3. I want a Season 4; I need a Season 4 and more.
Just finished the third season on Hulu and I’m very disappointed to lesrn there won’t be a fourth season. Hopefully this will change. I wish I’d known before watching it. Too many things left upin the air.
An excellent reflection of Middle Eastern troubles I worked in Iraq years ago so had a keen interest I do hope the story continues it can’t end here we need to know the outcome of all the characters involved
This is one of the best series i have watched in sometime. Love for the series to continue.
Hi please please please, if there a series to jump in the fire for its Tyrant, my mother of 80 years old ask me every time when is tyrant coming up again, so please even better on Netflix please..
The third season had lost focus of the story and needs contributors like me from different facets of ethnic culture and background in social change. The season had lost focus in each character as well. 4 the season is absolutely possible. The producers and writers need a visual map of each character and the goal or outcome that is being sought. Leaving a show seems such a irresponsible action. The show needs to tie all the loose ends.
One of the best show on tv, please make another series
i hope a season 4 will be made …love the series, but too many stories still hanging unanswered…please return with season 4
Love this series and was so disappointed that there was no 4th season. There were too many things left unanswered. Please consider starting this show up again.
I sincerely hope there will be a season 4. Too many issues were left hanging, unanswered, leaving us to assume and makeup our own endings.
Love this series!
