Tyrant**, the drama from Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Executive Producer Howard Gordon, returns for its third season tomorrow, Wednesday, July 6 at 10pm ET/PT on FX. Tyrant is the story of an unassuming American family drawn into the inner workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. Bassam “Barry” Al-Fayeed (Adam Rayner), the youngest song of a war-torn country’s controversial dictator, returns to his homeland after a self-imposed decades-long exile in America, only to be forced back into the treacherous familial and national politics of his youth. When his brother Jamal (Ashraf Barhom) assumed the presidency, Barry hoped to introduce humanitarian freedoms to his homeland. But when it became clear that Jamal lacked any sense of morality or justice, Barry colluded with the U.S. government to overthrow him. The coup failed, and Barry narrowly escaped execution. Determined to end the corrupt Al-Fayeed rule, Barry assumed the alias “Khalil” and joined the insurgency, quickly becoming a leader, and a symbol of freedom and hope. But when the Caliphate set its sights on Abuddin, Barry and Jamal became unlikely allies to defeat the invaders. At the conclusion of the season, Jamal was shot while delivering a triumphant address to the people. With Jamal’s fate unclear, the future of Abuddin falls once again into Barry’s hands. The series also stars Moran Atias, Jennifer Finnigan, Noah Silver, Cameron Gharaee, Melia Kreiling, Alexander Karim, and Chris Noth. Annet Mahendru (The Americans) also guest stars.

Rounding out the cast is Desmin Borges, who plays Edgar Quintero, Jimmy’s once homeless war veteran roommate who is struggling to manage his PTSD while forging a post-combat life; and Kether Donohue as Lindsay Jillian, Gretchen’s best friend and former partner in crime who’s exploring her identity after her loveless marriage was resurrected by a surprise pregnancy.
