Tyrant

Tyrant is a gripping drama that follows the story of Bassam "Barry" Al-Fayeed, the youngest son of a notorious Middle Eastern dictator, who returns to his homeland after a 20-year self-imposed exile. Thrown back into the familial and national politics of his youth, Barry must confront the harsh realities of his past and face pressures to assume a more active role in his family's regime. With his American wife and children by his side, Barry must navigate the treacherous landscape of political intrigue and social unrest to prevent a bloody conflict from unfolding in the fictional country of Abuddin. The show's title serves as a fitting moniker for the tale of an unassuming family drawn into the turbulent world of Middle Eastern politics.
