The actor who played Ashley Stubbs in Westworld, Luke Hemsworth, has commented on the show’s cancellation.
The 1973 Michael Crichton film of the same name served as the basis for the sci-fi western television series Westworld
which centered on the namesake theme park and its android hosts’ struggle for independence in the outside world.
Westworld, created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, was set to end with season 5, and Nolan and Joy were even in talks for a sixth and final season.
However, HBO decided to terminate the show owing to poor ratings and reviews, leaving many devoted viewers extremely upset.
Hemsworth expressed his disappointment with the cancellation of Westworld in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Hemsworth acknowledges his gratitude for being part of Westworld but claims that learning of its cancellation on his 42nd birthday caused him the most pain.
Hemsworth claims that, like the Westworld showrunners, he anticipated that season 5 would bring the full series circle.
Even yet, the primary Westworld cast will still be compensated for season 5.
After Westworld was canceled, there was an immediate outcry from the audience, which prompted supporters to establish a petition to keep season 5 alive.
