There is good news for the fans of the HBO signature dystopian sci-fi series. The creators ordered Westworld Season 4 even before the completion of the currently running season. The ratings of the present season dropped by a huge margin, but that reason won’t be able to stop the series from taking one more run. All the seasons of this show got a tremendous response from the fans as well as the critics. This show is said to be one of the most exceptional pieces of fiction ever created. In this article, the viewers will read everything we know so far about the fourth installment of this show.
Westworld is an American sci-fi dystopian TV series. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy created this show for HBO. It is the remake of the 1973 film of the same name by Michael Crichton. This show made its debut on 2 October 2016 and became an instant hit. Its debut on HBO had the network’s highest viewership ratings for a premiere. It also became the most-watched first season for any of the HBO series. An eight-episode third season is currently airing on HBO, which will end in the first week of May.
Renewal Of The Fourth Season!
With Game Of Thrones off-air and its prequel under development, Westworld is currently the flagship series of HBO. According to the rumor, the creators planned to conclude the series in the fifth or sixth season. The finale episode of the present season will definitely set up a storyline for the upcoming seasons. After giving the green light to Westworld Season 4, HBO programming president, Casey Bloys, issued the statement regarding the same. She said, “From the western theme park to the technocratic capital of the near future, we’ve thoroughly experienced every twist and turn from the minds of genius storytellers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. We can’t wait to see where their inspired vision takes us next.”

Westworld Season 4: Plot Details!
The showrunners of the show have a rough idea from the very beginning that what could happen the fourth season. Since the hosts finally left the park, therefore the next might turn out to be the endpoint for sentient robots. If that plot turns out to be true, then the war against humanity will reach its climax in Westworld Season 4.
In a recent talk, the showrunner Jonathan Nolan discussed the themes of the third season. This idea can be applied for the fourth installment as well. He said “I think it’s a drastic shift. What’s compelling and appealing about these figures is that they’re not human. As we said in the show, people are bound by the very loops the hosts are. You couldn’t expect human personas to endure and survive the kind of story that we’re telling. The hosts have a distinct version of extinction, a different outlook. I think clearly with Dolores, as she’s laid out, there is a longer view here, a larger set of goals. They’re existential.”
Westworld Season 4: Release Date
All the previous season of this show took at least 18 months for production. Since the VFX largely influences the show and the narrative of the show is also very complex. Therefore it likely takes more than time than the other shows for its production. The fans can expect Westworld Season 4 to release in the first half of 2022.
They can currently enjoy the remaining two episodes of the third season. The next episode will air on 26 April 2020 and the finale of the third season will air on 3 May 2020 only on HBO.
