Westworld Season 5: The American dystopian science fiction has been officially cancelled. Here’s everything you need to know!
Westworld is an American dystopian science fiction Western television series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. It first aired on October 2, 2016, on HBO. Since its premiere, the show, based on the 1973 Michael Crichton movie of the same name, has been one of the cable network’s tentpole shows. All four seasons were a huge success, garnering the network’s highest viewership ratings.
Furthermore, Westworld Season 1 has the most viewers of any HBO original series in history. Therefore, fans of the thought-provoking and visually spectacular series Westworld anxiously anticipated the show’s next part. However, with great sadness, we inform you that Westworld Season 5 has been officially cancelled.
But has this news deterred fans from hoping for more seasons? No way. Although HBO has already cancelled Westworld after Season 4, some fans are still holding out hope for a Season 5. Therefore, to fans’ delight, this article has everything you are looking for. Check it out.
Will there be Westworld Season 5?
Unfortunately, Westworld Season 5 will not premiere on HBO after being cancelled. Season 5 has almost no chance of being made, given the show’s low viewership and outrageously high budget.
Despite its success and excellent reviews, Westworld encountered many difficulties before it was cancelled. The show received considerable criticism as it went along for getting too complicated and losing sight of its main point. Therefore, this could have had an impact on the decision to end the series, along with dwindling viewership and ratings.

Is there a release date for Westworld Season 5?
Westworld Season 5 has no release date because HBO cancelled the show in November last year. Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy had planned a fifth and final season for Westworld and were in negotiations with HBO to air it before its cancellation.
What would Westworld Season 5 be about?
Even if Westworld Season 5 won’t air, the series has made a lasting impression on television history. However, what would have happened in season 5 will always be determined by what fans want to happen.
In the season four finale, The Man in Black caused the extinction of sentient life by using violence to exterminate both hosts and people. However, Dolores controls both species’ futures, as revealed in the episode’s climax. After Charlotte uploads her Pearl to the Sublime, she creates one last “test” by simulating the original Westworld park and populating it with memories of all the hosts and humans who came before her.
Therefore, Season 5 could most likely have followed Dolores as she chooses if sentient life is worth saving, bringing the show full circle.
Who would have been in the cast?
The following characters could have returned in Westworld season 5, given that nearly every individual becomes a host by the last episode, making it simple to bring them back to life if they died in season 4. Check out the list below:
- Thandiwe Newton as Maeve Millay
- Jeffrey Wright as Bernard Lowe/Arnold Weber
- Aaron Paul as Caleb Nichols
- Luke Hemsworth as Ashley Stubbs
- Ed Harris as The Man in Black, aka William
- Tessa Thompson as Charlotte Hale/Dolores mk II
- Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores
- James Marsden as Teddy Flood
- Aurora Perrineau as Frankie Nichols
- Angela Sarafyan as Clementine
You can watch all the previous seasons of Westworld on HBO Max and DirectTV.
