Westworld Season 4: Will There Be a Fifth Season of Westworld?

By Willie Neal On Nov 5, 2022

The eagerly awaited Westworld revival on HBO is one of the most eagerly anticipated of all the popular shows premiering in 2022. In the beginning, Westworld centers around a futuristic amusement park populated by human-like androids known as “hosts,” where wealthy visitors can indulge in their darkest desires without having to worry about the repercussions.

Westworld is based on the 1973 film by future Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton. The third season of the show, however, shifts the setting from a park to the real world while keeping the themes of artificial intelligence and how we as humans allow machines to rule our lives.

Thandiwe Newton, one of the show’s stars, won a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2016, and the show has since received praise from critics and awards organizations. Here is everything we currently know about Westworld Season 4, including who will be in the cast, when it will be released, and whether the series will continue after this one. The show usually takes a two-year break between seasons.

When Will the Westworld Season 4 Trailer Be Released?

On May 10, 2022, the trailer debuted and, as usual, kept details a secret.
