For a show that’s remained somewhat hesitant to kill off anyone, Westworld delivered a brutal season 2 finale that ended the lives of several characters.
However, there was one death in the finale that co-showrunner Jonathan Nolan has confirmed to be irrevocable – Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodward) will not be returning in season 3.
He continued: “It’s a large ensemble cast and sadly we’re saying goodbye to some people at the end of this season.
Such is the nature of the HBO series, though, that death isn’t necessarily the end of these creation’s journeys, especially the hosts.
