2022 ended with a bitter disappointment for sci-fi fans. After four seasons, the acclaimed series Westworld was surprisingly canceled by HBO. And it wasn’t just the fans who suffered from the decision: actress Evan Rachel Wood (The Wrestler) I still don’t know how the series would end. She can’t sleep because of this.
Westworld’s sci-fi executives didn’t want to reveal the ending to their star
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Wood said:
I asked about the cancellation [die Showrunner Jonathan Nolan und Lisa Joy]: ‘Can you tell me the ending?’, and they didn’t. Maybe because we can still finish it somehow. But it keeps me awake at night.

Evan Rachel Wood in Westworld
The deposition is “Horrible in many ways” for the team and the fans, said Wood. Season 4 was never intended to be the finale of the series, as showrunner Lisa Joy revealed to the Hollywood Reporter in 2022. When HBO’s decision was announced, sci-fi fans tried in vain to save Westworld.
The reason for the cancellation was weak ratings. The enthusiasm of many critics also decreased noticeably after season 2, as Metacritic shows. For many genre fans, the first two seasons of Westworld in particular are still considered masterpieces.
