Picking up directly from the shocking cliffhanger of season 2, Jamal (Ashraf Barhom) is fighting for his life after being shot by daughter-in-law Nusrat (Sibylla Deen), whom he assaulted on her wedding night.
Jamal's fate is unclear, so it is once again up to Barry (Adam Rayner) to clean up the mess left behind and mould the future of Abuddin.
Seeking to build a new Abuddin, Barry hopes to bring forth a government "by the people and for the people", setting the stage for democratic elections to name his replacement.
Big obstacles are in his way however, with the nation's distrust of the Al-Fayeed family and the perception of Barry as 'an American'.
Hoping to secure peace, army leaders overstep their bounds, whilst the support Barry receives from General William Cogswell (Chris Noth), a man who has history with Leila (Moran Atias), may make things altogether worse.
Toby Etheridge, Head of Programming & Scheduling at FNG UK comments: "Topical and relevant, Tyrant is an engrossing political series. At its heart a family drama, Tyrant is fascinating and well-made, and everything you would expect from the makers of Homeland and 24, and the broadcaster that brought us Fargo, Louie and American Horror Story. Set in a fictional nation in the Middle East, Tyrant is a thrilling roller-coaster ride - international TV at its very best."
Tyrant returns on Monday, August 1 at 9pm on FOX UK.
