Westworld

Show creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Jay said they had a five-season plan for their acclaimed sci-fi series Westworld back in 2016, when the show first premiered. In October of this year, Nolan was still talking about his plans for a fifth and final season of the show. Then, of course, the HBO bloodbath began. The next month, Westworld’s fifth season was canceled, even though the cast would still need to be paid for the work they would have done. What’s worse is that now the company has removed Westworld from HBO Max, and plans to shop it to some other streaming service that runs ads. The only silver lining is that end of season four inadvertently made for a great series finale.
