What story will Westworld Season 4 follow?

Spoilers follow for Westworld Season 3

Although the creators of the series love to keep everything under wraps, Lisa Joy did gave us some hints. On being asked to describe the show’s return, she answered in a word, “Inversion”. She also said, “You’re going to see some new worlds that I think are really fun, and you’re going to see someone who I kidnapped from Reminiscence in a funny way.” As the third season ended with Dolores’ death, Caleb will continue the revolution in her place. Serac, the crazy trillionaire is now dead too. As for Maeve, she will continue searching for her daughter, whereas Charlotte will be building her host army!

Westworld Season 4 Cast: Who will return? Will there be new cast members?

The great thing about the series is that even the humans and robots that are killed off, can return from death. So, we can always expect Dolores (who died at the end of Season 3) to come back. However, Nolan himself said in a 2020 interview that “Dolores is gone”, so we’ll most probably see her playing a new role in the series. However, some characters are really gone and we won’t be seeing them anymore. Anyway, below is the list of the cast and characters who are confirmed to appear in Season 4.

  • Evan Rachel Wood as a new character
  • Thandiwe Newton as Maeve Millay
  • Jeffrey Wright as Bernard Lowe
  • Aaron Paul as Caleb Nichols
  • Luke Hemsworth as Ashley Stubbs
  • Ed Harris as The Man in Black
  • Tessa Thompson as Charlotte Hale

Talking about the new additions, Ariana DeBose has joined the cast but her role has been kept secret.

Recently, it is confirmed that James Marsden will return for the fourth season. The casting news was announced Saturday, June 4, during the show’s panel at ATX Festival, which Marsden attended as a surprise guest. There are no details about Marsden’s role in the new season.

He played Teddy Flood, a wide-eyed, aw-shucks hero host who was a love interest for Wood’s Dolores. He was a major character of the series in Seasons 1 and 2.
