Westworld CANCELLED by HBO: sci-fi drama’s fourth season will be its last, despite creators’ hopes to wrap up the storyline in a fifth season
Westworld has been canceled by HBO in a shock that will disappoint many fans of the sci-fi drama, as the creators had hoped to wrap up the storyline in season five.
Season four ended just three months ago, with the finale airing on August 14, and viewers had left in anticipation of more from the show starring Rachel Evan Wood, James Marsden, and Aaron Paul.
The surprising decision to end the show abruptly is said to be due to the high production budget and declining ratings, Variety reports.
The cancellation also comes as an “ongoing programming review” is underway with HBO’s new parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.
