Everything to Know About ‘Westworld’ Season 5

Spoilers forward.

What occurs after the top of the world? If we’re speaking about Charlotte Hale’s failed utopia on Westworld, what follows is an opportunity to start out anew.

Season 4 ended with the destruction we (particularly Bernard) noticed coming, with people and hosts killing one another within the streets, descending into insanity and presumably even extinction; however there’s additionally a spark of hope that Dolores could make a brand new world, one that may truly result in freedom. We all know she’s able to it, too: because the season progressed, she (because the character Christina) started to grasp her capacity to manage the narrative and characters round her.

On the finish of the season 4 finale, Charlotte, per Bernard’s recommendation, chooses to place her belief in Dolores. She uploads Dolores’ pearl (her consciousness) into the Chic and, from there, Dolores can create one ultimate check. “One final loop across the bend. Possibly this time we’ll set ourselves free,” she says. We will assume that plot level would be the focus of season 5.

Right here’s what else we all know.

Has Westworld been renewed for fifth season?

There’s been no public affirmation but. However the closest factor we’ve got is Ed Harris’ July interview with The Hollywood Reporter, by which he mentioned, “We now have yet another season, which can begin filming subsequent April and Might. I do not know the place that’s going to finish up.” Whereas he hinted that manufacturing for season 5 will start in spring 2023, did he simply let slip that the fifth season can be Westworld’s final?

Earlier reports have mentioned the collection may even go as much as six seasons, however the season 4 ending does look like the story is being arrange for a grand finale. Dolores’ intentions to create “one final recreation” and a “ultimate check,” together with hints that subsequent season will happen as soon as once more within the Westworld park, the place it began, appear to sign that we’re reaching the top of the maze.

What’s going to season 5 be about?

We’ll must go off of our personal theories for now, however the season 4 finale has given us lots to chew on. The closing scenes recommend we’re going again to the Westworld park, however it’s not bodily the identical place we noticed in earlier seasons. This can be a model Dolores, now within the elegant, has rendered from her reminiscences of the actual park. She’s set it up as a ultimate check—“a harmful recreation with the best of stakes: survival or extinction,” as she places it.

Together with internet hosting this experiment, Dolores can be seemingly on the seek for Teddy—the actual Teddy within the elegant, not the model of him she subconsciously created inside Charlotte’s world. Throughout their loving goodbye, he tells her to come back discover him; and we’re certain that’s precisely what she’ll do. They’re one another’s cornerstones in any case. Certainly they will’t keep aside for lengthy.

Which forged members will return?

Contemplating almost each character is now a number, which suggests they are often simply introduced again to life in the event that they met their finish in season 4, there may very well be hope to see even the fallen troopers again up and operating come season 5. We’re hoping that Evan Rachel Wooden, Jeffrey Wright, Thandiwe Newton, Luke Hemsworth, and Aaron Paul return. And maybe an look from James Marsden, who made his grand return this season, and Angela Sarafyan and Zahn McClarnon, who popped in for a number of cameos.

It’s unclear if we’ll see Ed Harris once more, because it’s unclear how William can reincarnate after Charlotte kills him and destroys his pearl within the season 4 finale. Similar goes for Tessa Thompson, since Charlotte destroyed her personal pearl on the finish of the episode. However then once more, that is Westworld. Something is feasible.
