Culture news After 4 seasons and 1 cancellation, this incredible sci-fi series has not said its last word: Nolan is ready to do anything to give it a real ending
This science fiction series directed by Christopher Nolan’s brother and his wife may not be dead. Perhaps fans will see the conclusion it deserves.
Westworld, a series by Jonathan Nolan
If you are a science fiction fan, there is little chance that you will have missed the series Westworld. Based on the work of Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park, the HBO series traces an extraordinary adventure, on the border between science fiction and philosophy. Westworld, in this very special world, is a huge, state-of-the-art amusement park that allows you to feel the first thrills of the conquest of the West, but also other eras, such as feudal Japan. The trick is the massive use of androids within this brand, which replace our automatons and costumed actors that we use today to animate the parks. The difference is that here everything is blatantly realistic, and it is entirely possible to chat with them, take quests from them, and even assassinate them as part of a mission, or a bloodthirsty frenzy… Here, the customer is king… Lack of luck, to make them more real than life, the androids are “equipped” with a sort of consciousness, and will therefore gradually feel the effects of the multiple fatal loops that they undergo, gradually developing a resentment which will put the The company that owns the park is in a difficult situation…
Broadcast since 2016, spectators have been able to discover a total of four seasons. Each has a distinct identity, offering profound reflections on human life and what defines existence. Unfortunately, fans were never able to watch the conclusion since this series was simply canceled after a drop in audience. Fortunately, its creator Jonathan Nolan, and his wife Lisa Joy are not ready to abandon it.
A fifth and final season of Westworld?
Even though HBO canceled the Westworld sequel, Jonathan Nolan is not ready to let go of his series. He recently said he’s committed to “finishing the story,” which fans won’t mind.
We are perfectionists. It took me eight years and a change of director to make Interstellar. We would like to finish the story we started. I’m really proud of what we did. It was an extraordinary experience. I think it would be a mistake to look back and feel nothing but regret about how it ended. But there is always a desire to finish it.
