Earlier this month, HBO officially canceled the “Westworld” series after four seasons, and fans were shocked to learn of the decision.

The news also came as a surprise to the show’s cast, who would still be paid for what was set to be the show’s fifth and likely final season.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the interpreter of Ashley Stubbs, Luke Hemsworth, commented on the cancellation, which occurred precisely on the day of his birthday.

“I was like, ‘What the fuck! What the heck! When you love what you do, you hope these things last forever, but everyone has their own reasons. I’m grateful for the character that I lived and this trip was a big part of my life, but this cancellation was disappointing.”

He continued:

Take the time to watch:

“From the start, I think the idea was to come full circle and come back around loops, humans and robots trapped in that trajectory. Unfortunately, we’re isolated, but that’s the nature of the world. You can’t be depressed about it.You move on and open new doors.

Reports released by THR revealed that the cancellation was prompted by the series’ low ratings, which have been dropping each season.

Previously, co-creator Lisa Joy also expressed her desire to conclude the series’ narrative in season five: “We have an outcome in mind that we want to achieve. [na quinta temporada]🇧🇷 We haven’t seen the end of the story yet.”

So, were you also disappointed with the cancellation?

Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the series is based on the eponymous film released in 1973.

Westworld is a futuristic adult theme park dedicated to entertaining the wealthy. A space that reproduces the Wild West, populated by androids – the hosts -, to believe that they are human and live in the real world. There, customers can do whatever they want, without obeying any rules or laws. However, when a system upgrade of the machines goes awry, their behaviors begin to hint at a new threat, as artificial consciousness gives rise to “the evolution of sin”.

The cast includes Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Aaron Paul, Angela Sarafyan, Luke Hemsworth, Aurora Perrineau, Ariana DeBose, James Marsden and Ed Harris.
