Fans may not have to wait long for Westworld Season 3. In a recent interview with The Wrap during the Television Critics Association press tour Wednesday, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys dropped new details about the science fiction western television series. First, we learned that Westworld Season 3 will premiere in the first half of the next year. Then Bloys revealed that he is also talking with the series producers for a Season 4 and 5. Moreover, it won’t affect cocreator Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s other commitments.
“They are 100 percent hands on,” Bloys added. “We have deals with them for a potential fourth and fifth season. So the deal with them [at Amazon] is for, I believe, everything but Westworld. And they’re very committed to Westworld. So I’m not worried about losing their focus; they don’t lose focus.”
Additionally, when asked about what familiar faces we might see in the upcoming season, Bloys said: “If you didn’t see them in the trailer, I’m not gonna respond.”
