“Westworld” has not yet been renewed for a fifth season, but if it is, Joy says “Westworld” Season 5 will be the end of the loop.


We had always planned on ending the series next season,” Joy told TheWrap during a recent interview. “You know, we always thought that ‘Westworld’ should kind of come full circle and back to the West. But with Dolores, who was just a player in other people’s games, finally getting to write her own. Just to close up a lot of the stuff that we’ve seen before like the flashforward with The Man in Black and everything, so we have a plan for Season 5 but you know, life can make other plans for you. So we’ll just hope for the best.”

Joy stressed that she and the “Westworld” team are strongly hoping for a renewal so they can finish out the story they first started with Season 1 back in 2016, adding that the endgame for the series – which we would see in Season 5 – was plotted out back when she and co-creator Jonathan Nolan were writing the pilot.
 
I honestly thought this was the series finale! It could certainly serve as one if they aren't renewed. Glad to see that they plotted the end back in the beginning though if we do get a 5th & final season. Tessa Thompson continues to impress me as an actor.
 
There wasn't anything post credits.

Yeah, Delores said they will all die, no other reason was given for why they will die. Unless when she was in the sublime she saw Bernard's simulation data, or ran her own.
Edit to add: Rehoboam apparently stated it as well, people are sharing screenshots from season 3
It's just being realistic. There's a small group of survivors who were having to sneak in and steal supplies from the city, now they don't have access to that at all. Assuming that there is still animal life, they can hunt but eventually people get sick or hurt. Best case scenario where the survivors live a long heathy life, there still isn't enough people to maintain a viable population. It's just a matter of time.

He would have been a kid in the era that was popular slang in games as well.
I think he's supposed to be a Millennial based on a few references he's made.
 
It's not unreasonable for me to not be okay with the three of them lying about the character,

It's absolutely unreasonable because it's completely unobservant. Please learn something this time so that we'll be spared the indignation the next time it happens.
 
I was less than impressed with the final third of the season and really feel that we had a decent conclusion to the series, despite Maeve's final lines. If it does come back for a final season, considering where we left the show could pick up far into the future.
 
Given that everything I posted about the timeline of the series comes directly from what we were shown onscreen, your attempted taunt falls flatter than a mattress.

Is that an option? Because your track record for predictions is that frickin' bad. But even worse is that it's combined with a completely undeserved arrogance about their accuracy that never falters no matter how many times you're proven spectacularly wrong about plot developments that even casual viewers could see coming from miles away.

You could time travel to 2068, pick up a Gray's Sports Almanac of the past fifty years of scores, come back in time, and still lose money betting on sports.

It's not even a big deal that you get the predictions so wildly wrong so often, though it is pretty humorous to watch. It's the constant insufferable lectures and insistence that you are right like you're some kind of big-shot TV insider when you don't even seem to grasp basic foreshadowing and plotting.

I keep hoping at some point you're going to learn from your mistakes and dial it back, but you always keep smacking right into that wall each time.


To reiterate what Locutus pointed out there uptopic, your posting history to this point includes very few examples of accurate predictions or statements concerning television or films. So skepticism regarding any assertion you make about these things is sensible.

You should stop doing this.

Nice try, though.

Your personal credibility has everything to do with it; as LoB pointed out, your posts are riddled with every kind of error and misinterpretation.

The "onscreen timeline" you refer to is inconsistent with the show's internal continuity. Therefore it's "authoritative" without being accurate. That's not unusual in TV produced over a period of years; Trek for example is rife with irreconcilable chronologies.

Nice try, though.
 
Season four recovered somewhat in the last episode, but on the whole was the emptiest and most conventional year of the show. On balance I liked Year Three better. They've reduced themselves to relying primarily on their "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" narrative style* to tell action/suspense stories with no more depth than a Fast and Furious movie (most of which are excellent movies for what they are).

Now they're relying on the come-on that "We promise we'll be better and more interesting next year" what was built into the final monologues of "Que Sera, Sera." Chances that they'll deliver on that are not much better than fifty-fifty based on their recent work.

*Henchforth to be called "Bullwinkle plotting." :D

No way for 4 more conventional than 3... just no way.
