Popular video streaming service HBO has officially cancelled Westworld. The science fiction series created by husband-and-wife Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy has wrapped up its final season this past spring. After premiering back in 2016 and captivating audiences for four seasons, HBO has decided to focus their efforts on newer upcoming shows and films currently in pre-production. The cast featured: Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Thandiwe Newton, Tessa Thompson, Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Hemsworth, and Aaron Paul among others.
“Over the past four seasons, Lisa and Jonah have taken viewers on a mind-bending odyssey, raising the bar at every step,” HBO said in an official statement. “We are tremendously grateful to them, along with their immensely talented cast, producers and crew, and all of our partners at Kilter Films, Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television. It’s been a thrill to join them on this journey.”
Kilter Films added, “Making Westworld has been one of the highlights of our careers. We are deeply grateful to our extraordinary cast and crew for creating these indelible characters and brilliant worlds. We’ve been privileged to tell these stories about the future of consciousness – both human and beyond – in the brief window of time before our AI overlords forbid us from doing so.”
