Season overview
Westworld is an American dystopian science fiction Western drama television series that aired on HBO. Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the series is based on the 1973 film of the same name written and directed by Michael Crichton and is also loosely based on the 1976 sequel, Futureworld. The narrative is described as a dark odyssey concerning the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin.
The series is set at the intersection of the near future and a reimagined past. It centers on a theme park where guests can indulge every human appetite, whether noble or depraved, without consequence. This destination offers the future of sin, fueled by artificial intelligence. While guests pursue their fantasies with robots, certain humans begin to sense that something more sinister is at play within the park. The series explores the artificial intelligence that powers this environment and the complex dynamics between the hosts and the humans who visit them. The overarching themes of the show are captured by the phrase, these violent delights have violent ends. The cast includes Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, and Thandiwe Newton.
