The Westworld team has already stated that there are at least five or six seasons worth of ideas that they have already put together for the subscription cable drama, so if HBO wants to keep going with the science fiction series, it should be easier to get on a schedule moving forward.
One way that HBO could combat this moving forward is by giving Westworld early renewals, which would allow the drama to keep moving in the same way that HBO’s Game of Thrones manages to continually keep writing and filming and producing new episodes each year.
At least we’re really hoping that’s the tact HBO takes.
