Jeffrey Wright teases Westworld season 4: “It’s gonna be fun”

Are you ready to return to the confusing mindf**k that is HBO’s Westworld, the show about robots gaining sentience and putting their consciousnesses into other robots that want to topple humanity while the original robots sacrifice themselves on account of its beauty? Well, we get to, sometime this year.

Although granted, we don’t yet know exactly when new episodes will drop; star Jeffrey Wright (Bernard Lowe) offered what info he could to Deadline: “We wrapped last December, but I’m not exactly sure when it’s when it’s coming out,” he said.

"Season 4 is going to be more of the Westworld you’ve come to expect and more digging down into some issues and some technology that is going to look familiar to us, as always. It’s gonna be exciting. I’m not sure exactly when we’re to air but within the coming months, certainly."

Expect a release date and trailer for Westworld season 4 fairly soon; between this and House of the Dragon, HBO has some big-ticket shows on the way and I’m betting it’s going to hit us with promotional material one after the other.

What is Bernard up to in Westworld season 4?

When last we left Bernard, who is himself a robotic “host,” he had plugged into a kind of digital afterlife where several hosts got to go at the end of season 2. The final image of season 3 is of him coming out of his revelry covered in dust, which implies…something.

“Bernard is still trying to solve it all and he is still very much a part of the struggle,” Wright hinted. “The struggle goes on, and Bernard is right there at the center of it. It’s gonna be fun.”

And that’s about as firm a statement about Westworld as we’re ever going to get. See you in the coming months.
