The season three finale of FX’s Tyrant will also be the show’s final episode. FX has opted not to renew the dramatic series for a third season, as just announced by John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions. Tyrant‘s third season finale airs on September 7, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT and is titled “Two Graves.” Per the network, the episode finds Barry and Molly on the brink of waging war on the Caliphate. “Leila makes a bold political move and braves the possibility of a close betrayal. Barry and Daliyah face a final reckoning in their relationship. The conflict in Abuddin threatens to turn into a bloody civil war.”
Tyrant stars Adam Rayner, Jennifer Finnigan, Moran Atias, Ashraf Barhom, Noah Silver, Alexander Karim, Cameron Gharaee, Melia Kreiling and Chris Noth. The series was executive produced by Howard Gordon, Chris Keyser, Gideon Raff and Avi Nir.
“It’s very difficult to find common ground with other people whose stories we do not know or understand,” stated Landgraf. “The creators of Tyrant have done their utmost over three seasons to tell American audiences a tiny fraction of the many gripping, human stories coursing through the Middle East today. We want to thank Howard Gordon, Chris Keyser and their talented team of collaborators, including all the writers, directors, cast and crew, as well as our studio partners at Fox 21 Television Studios, for taking on Tyrant’s tremendously ambitious story with such profound dedication and respect.”
“Tyrant is a beloved show to all of us at Fox 21 Television Studios, and we are indebted to Howard and Chris for their incredible work, and to John Landgraf and everyone at FX who have been fantastic partners,” said Fox 21 Television Studios President Bert Salke. “We feel the show is a gem and we’d love to find a way to keep it in production. That said, we want to be realistic about its prospects. So for its loyal audience, tonight’s episode will be a satisfying end should the series not find another home, but also provides interesting possibilities should we be able to continue on some other platform.”
