Produced by and aired on HBO, Westworld is American dystopian science fiction, neo-Western television series. It is based on the 1973 film of the same name by Michael Crichton.
The first season of the series premiered on October 2, 2016, followed by the second season on April 22, 2018. The third season was released on March 15, 2020. HBO then renewed the series for a fourth season, which is set to premiere soon.
So, when is the fourth season releasing? What is the plot? Who will come back to reprise their roles? Keep reading to know further details.
Westworld Plot and Cast
At this point, it’s pretty much impossible to guess what the plot of Westworld Season 4 is going to be. The show’s ongoing storylines have become so convoluted that it’s foolish to even try to predict the directions they’ll go when the show returns. HBO isn’t offering much help in that regard either, teasing only that Westworld Season 4 will be a dark odyssey about the fate of sentient life on earth.
Hopefully, the show will follow through on some of the apocalyptic hints that were scattered throughout Westworld’s Season 3 finale, but only time will tell.
Now coming to the cast, several longtime Westworld cast members are set to return for the show’s fourth season. This includes Thandiwe Newton, Evan Rachel Wood, Tessa Thompson, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Hemsworth, Angela Sarafyan, and Aaron Paul. West Side Story star and recent Oscar winner, Ariana DeBose, is also set to appear as a recurring guest star, although no details have been revealed about their new character.
Westworld Season 4 Release Date
Production officially started in summer 2021, with Thandiwe Newton finishing her first week of filming in June. Jeffrey Wright later confirmed that filming had finished for the fourth season in December 2021.
Westworld Season 4 is scheduled to premiere on HBO Max on June 26, 2022. The new season will possibly premiere the following day on Sky Atlantic and NOW but this is yet to be confirmed.
