“Westworld” has shuttered its gates. HBO announced Friday that the popular sci-fi drama will not return for a fifth season.
In a statement shared with The Times, HBO reflected on the “mind-bending odyssey” offered by creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, who raised “the bar at every step.”
“We are tremendously grateful to them, along with their immensely talented cast, producers and crew, and all of our partners at Kilter Films, Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television,” the statement continued. “It’s been a thrill to join them on this journey.”
In a statement through their production company, Kilter Films, Joy and Nolan shared that “Westworld has been one of the highlights of our careers.”
“We are deeply grateful to our extraordinary cast and crew for creating these indelible characters and brilliant worlds,” the Kilter Films statement said. “We’ve been privileged to tell these stories about the future of consciousness — both human and beyond — in the brief window of time before our AI overlords forbid us from doing so.
