Westworld co-creator Jonathan Nolan has revealed he’s in talks with HBO to renew the series for a fifth and final season.The sci-fi show’s fourth season concluded in August, with HBO yet to officially announce whether the show will return for another season.Speaking at New York Comic Con (via Deadline), Nolan teased that negotiations are underway, saying: “We always planned for a fifth and final season.“We are still in conversations with the network. We very much hope to make them.”Speaking to TheWrap in August, co-creator Lisa Joy teased the narrative direction if a fifth season came to fruition.“We had always planned on ending the series next season,” Joy said.

Three months after it was renewed for season five, HBO abruptly changed course and suddenly canceled “Westworld” last year, the dystopian science-fiction series by creator Jonathan Nolan (co-writer on ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy) and his wife and creative partner Lisa Joy. “Westworld” wasn’t cheap to make; the ten-episode first season was reportedly produced on a budget of approximately $100 million, with per-episode budgets somewhere between $8 million to $10 million, and the pilot episode alone costing $25 million to produce.

Despite HBO canceling the series and scrubbing it from its library, Jonathan Nolan still wants to finish the “Westworld” story. But does anybody else, even the show’s old fans, feel the same way? EW reports (via THR) that Nolan plans to make the ex-flagship series’ fifth and final season, even if HBO has moved on.

I think that’s always been her fundamental nature in a way, both as Hale when we first met her, and as a host”.Thompson did share that the upcoming season “has to do with an idea around what should be the future of host-kind” and that “there’s a sort of righteous path in her mind that she’s carving, not just for herself, but for all hosts.”Watch the latest trailer for Westworld season 4 below.She continued: “And, of course, I think the best leaders don’t make anybody do anything.

“Westworld” is a dark odyssey about the fate of sentient life on earth, and it’s coming back for a fourth season.

What’s going on in the world of HBO’s Emmy-winning sprawling and cerebral sci-fi dystopian TV drama “Westworld”? Well, in many ways, “Westworld” jumped the shark really fast. Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, based on the 1973 film of the same name, “Westworld” did incredible ratings in season, caught the pop-cultural world by storm and was all poised to become the next “Game Of Thrones,” until “Westworld” decided to get a little too clever with itself and blow itself entirely up at the end of season one.

I received prejudice.
