The sci-fi series created Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan will return for a fourth season at the premium cabler.
Multiple outlets confirm that HBO has picked up Westworld for another season. Joy and Nolan remain on board as they have a deal in place that keeps them with the drama for up to six seasons.
“From the western theme park to the technocratic metropolis of the near future, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every twist and turn from the minds of master storytellers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy,” said Casey Bloys, president of HBO Programming. “We can’t wait to see where their inspired vision takes us next.”
Season three, however, saw a major drop in viewership averaging 1.7 million viewers, including 901,000 linear versus 2.05 million in season two.
In season 3, Aaron Paul, Vincent Cassel, and Lena Waithe joined Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton. The season further explores questions about the nature of reality, free will, and what makes us human.
