Why did 'Westworld' turn down HBO's offer for Season 5?
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: All HBO fans are legitimately stunned earlier this year when HBO announced that their once gold star series 'Westworld' had been canceled. The sudden news shouldn't have come as a surprise after so many huge projects got cut off at Warner Bros Discovery. The last few weeks have seen ample movies shelved and renewals hauled back, but it did arrive after weeks of talk from the creators that they had plans for Season 5 to wrap up the show.
Regardless, the dystopian science fiction western television series was created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy for HBO. It is based on the 1973 film of the same name written and directed by Michael Crichton, and, to a lesser extent, its 1976 sequel, 'Futureworld.' The HBO series premiered six years back, on October 2, 2016. Furthermore, Season 4 credits included Nolan and Joy as creators, EPs Abrams, Alison Schapker, Athena Wickham, Richard J. Lewis, Denise The, and Ben Stephenson with Kilter Films and Bad Robot producing in association with Warner Bros Television.
