Westworld Cancelled by HBO
HBO has cancelled its scifi TV series Westworld. HBO has opted not to order a fifth season of the TV show based on the Michael Crichton film. The main cast of Westworld, however, will be paid their salaries for the fifth season of the TV series. “According to sources, the core cast had pay-or-play deals for Season 5. I hear the actors’ options came up sometime last year, before Season 4 had aired (its production had been delayed because of the pandemic), and they were exercised. I hear the cast also might have renegotiated their deals at that time.”
Cast and crew
Westworld stars Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Luke Hemsworth, Aaron Paul, and Angela Sarafyan.
Westworld was created for television by Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy, who are executive producers with Alison Schapker, Denise Thé, J.J. Abrams, Athena Wickham, Richard J. Lewis, and Ben Stephenson. Production companies: Kilter Films and Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television; based on the film written by Michael Crichton.
Plot Synopsis
Westworld‘s plot synopsis: “Live without limits in a world where every human appetite can be indulged. From executive producers Lisa Joy, Jonathan Nolan and J.J. Abrams, comes this dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin.”
