The show Westworld has been stopped. By the time the fourth and final season aired earlier this year, the Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan show seemed to have forgotten what it was about because it was so popular. The show is gone, but it is not a big deal.
The statement on the cancellation was sent by the company.
Over the past four seasons, Lisa and Jonah have taken viewers on a mind-bending odyssey, raising the bar at every step. We are tremendously grateful to them, along with their immensely talented cast, producers and crew, and all of our partners at Kilter Films, Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television. It’s been a thrill to join them on this journey.
At times, the final season felt repetitive as compared to the past. The end of the second season felt like a series finale and the third season ended with the cast ending the tyranny of an artificial intelligence. It could have been a lovely ending.
In a future where all the characters were dead, Westworld came back again. There was a lot of pondering the nature of self, as well as a bunch of apocalypses. They cratered as a result of the ratings.
It is not surprising that the cable channel has stopped broadcasting. David Zaslav is the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery and he likes to save money. He believes that the grand experiment of chasing subscribers at any cost is over. He mentioned that they might have to cancel expensive shows if they weren't able to do as well. It averaged less than half a million live viewers per episode. Big bang Theory reruns are more popular than ever.
If you want to watch Westworld, you have to watch it on the pay per view channel. The final season of The Good Fight on Paramount Plus has a similar cyber dystopia vibe but with a clear sense of how we got from our present to that terrible future. Around the same time as Westworld first aired, Humans was broadcasted on the UK's PBS. It is about how we use robots to enable our own dehumanizing behavior, but it is also about a family you can root for. Person of Interest was created by the same creative team as Westworld and explored many of the same concepts but did it in a more comprehensible way.
