Tyrant, the saga about the political and familial turmoil in the fictional Middle Eastern nation of Abbudin, returns for a third season, as Barry (Adam Rayner) must now lead the divided country into an uncertain future after the shooting of his brother Jamal (Ashraf Barhom), whose fate is unknown. In the Season 3 premiere “Spring” (Wednesday, July 6, at 10pm ET/PT), Barry steps forward as interim president and sets the stage for democratic elections. Daliyah (Melia Kreiling) takes a leading role in the nation, and army leaders overstep their bounds in trying to secure peace.

Fresh off his role in The Good Wife, Chris Noth joins the Tyrant cast as an American military general with a complex backstory and lots of emotional baggage who comes to Abbudin to assist Barry in establishing a transitional government. Also signed up for Season 3 is Annet Mahendru (The Americans), who plays the wife of a powerful sheik from the province of Ma’an, which was once target of a chemical weapons attack by Abbudin’s military.

Channel Guide Magazine was able to obtain the DVR through top-secret sources*, and it turns out that the world’s most wanted man was quite the fan of American television.

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: “J’ai Obtenu Cette”

December 5, 2012 Channel Guide Staff Drama 1

Even if we didn’t know going in that this was a season finale, you can tell immediately that Sons of Anarchy means business when it breaks out the Katey Sagal songs. “Ruby Tuesday,” “Bird on a Wire,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” and now “To Sir, With Love.” Not sure if it’s the most mood-catching songs for what’s to come, but it’s always nice hearing her voice, reminding us of the unassailable beauty Sagal is capable of producing, along with the malice and desperation that so often shows in her portrayal of Gemma. But, since this is a season finale, […]

Method Man talks “Chozen” role, and why people sometimes call him Cliff Smith

January 18, 2014 Channel Guide Staff Animation, Comedy 1

In his latest project, Method Man is playing a familiar role, that of a rapper. And he’s happy to be doing it, making an appearance at the Television Critics Association press tour this week to promote (and sometimes defend) FX’s controversial animated series Chozen — airing at 10:30pm Mondays — though he’s not a regular cast member. He gives voice to Phantasm, the duplicitous MC who framed the lead character for multiple criminal violations that sent Chozen (Bobby Moynihan) to prison for 10 years. But the former Wu-Tang Clan member, who has nabbed roles in projects as varied as The […]
