While the Westworld renewal is great news, it is actually coming a little late for the production team.
Westworld is a giant series and it takes a long time to shoot.
This is coming because it’s too late at this juncture to get production on Season 2 rolling early enough to have the show air during the fall timeslot next year.
That’s kind-of a bummer, but still a Season 2 renewal is certainly good news, and it means that Westworld is getting the chance to start really digging into that five-year plan that was mentioned some time ago.
