Evan Rachel Wooden, Like Most of Us, Needs Westworld Obtained a Correct Ending

The cancellation of Westworld in 2022 got here as a shock for a number of causes. HBO’s marquis lineup of status dramas have typically gotten to finish on their very own phrases, and the sci-fi show appeared prefer it hoped for one final season to tie all the pieces collectively. As an alternative, we’re left with questions on how issues may’ve gone, one thing even its cast remains to be questioning about.

In a latest interview with the Hollywood Reporter, lead actor Evan Rachel Wooden (who performed Dolores and Christina) admitted she is aware of jack about how Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Pleasure deliberate to finish issues. She revealed that she flat out requested them about it after HBO canned the present, and that they opted to not reply. Why the secrecy? She thinks that they suppose “possibly one way or the other, someway, in some iteration we’ll get to complete it.” Whether or not or not that’s the case, she had no downside stating the shortage of closure “does nonetheless maintain me up at night time.”

“They don’t inform us the place the present goes,” continued Wooden. “We had been simply all the time advised, ‘We all know how the present ends,’ once we began.” She and the remainder of the primary solid had been genuinely wanting ahead to studying Nolan and Pleasure’s plans, and was candid in calling “devastating” to not get a correct ending. “After constructing an arc and a personality for nearly 10 years,” she stated, “and never getting the payoff on the finish to see the place it was all going — I believe for us and the viewers, it was terrible in a number of methods.”

To this point, HBO hasn’t stated something about giving Westworld something like a film to shut issues out (a la The Venture Bros.), and there haven’t been any talks of a revival. Nolan and Pleasure are presently engaged on Fallout for Amazon, whereas Wooden herself is heading to the stage as Aubrey within the off-stage manufacturing of Little Store of Horrors. Except one thing modifications, the four-season sequence will stay unfinished—which is dangerous for any present, however particularly when it’s already mainly on the end line to start with.

Westworld is not on Max, however it’s accessible on companies reminiscent of Tubi, AppleTV, and Prime Video.
