Nolan and Joy released a joint statement talking about their new partnership:
As for Westworld, I was really hoping HBO would end the series after season 3. Season 2 became bogged down in even more convoluted mysteries and I didn’t think the payoff was worth the journey, and the show’s ratings dropped so much that I wondered if HBO might be interested in cutting its losses after the upcoming third season.
Keep in mind, Deadline’s report doesn’t technically say that Westworld season 4 has been given the green light, but if it eventually is renewed, Nolan and Joy will be there. Either way, the show will undergo a “radical shift” in season 3, and they’ve added Aaron Paul to the cast, so maybe that will be enough to hook me once again and get more people excited about the possibility of more seasons to come.
