Westworld fans are distraught at the cancellation of the western fantasy drama after its fourth season.
HBO made the surprising announcement on Friday (4 November) that the show would not be returning for a fifth and final series.
“Over the past four seasons, [creators] Lisa [Joy] and [Jonathan Nolan] have taken viewers on a mind-bending odyssey, raising the bar at every step,” the network said in a statement.

TBS wanted to find a way to reach more Black viewers with its lineup of scripted and unscripted comedies. To do so, the WarnerMedia cabler turned to a pair of former TBS marketing executives who launched their own creative shop last year in Atlanta last year.

The Pop’N Creative team made the promotion eye-catching by offering three winners the chance to win $25,000 help pay off student loan debt. That number was meaningful because research shows that Black college graduates typically carry about $25,000 more in student loan debt than their white counterparts.
