The Westworld series has been one of HBO’s most popular shows but it’s been more than two years since the end of the third season. Have viewers forgotten about this series? Could Westworld be cancelled or, is it sure to be renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A science-fiction thriller series, the Westworld TV show stars Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Luke Hemsworth, Aaron Paul, Angela Sarafyan, and James Marsden with Ariana DeBose, Aurora Perrineau, and Daniel Wu. Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the drama series unfolds in a pricey, futuristic theme park, where visitors pay to act out their Wild West fantasies while interacting with lifelike robot “hosts.” The fourth season picks up over seven years later after the protracted war and humanity is finally free. Or so it seems. Maeve and Caleb begin to suspect that Hale and a host version of The Man in Black are trying to regain control of the human race. Meanwhile, Bernard returns from The Sublime. A young writer, Christina, begins to question the nature of her reality.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: Season three of Westworld on HBO averaged a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 812,000 viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like the Westworld TV series on HBO? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
*11/5/22 update: Westworld has been cancelled after four seasons by HBO.
love this show enjoy it and love it all episode Sundays at 9pm . Never missed it. Please reconsider in ratings.
Note these numbers are leaving off HBO Max streaming (they haven’t released those numbers yet). So it might not be as bad as portrayed.
Compare it to Euphoria – That show has similar total views on “regular” HBO yet the company confirmed the show hit over 3 mil viewers with 80% of that being HBO Max
So its definitely not be as bad as portrayed. (but still may be pretty bad lol)
Uhhh… like I agree. It’s ratings are probably higher than Top Gun 2, Spider Man No Way Home, and the Original Star Wars combined. The only better ratings I can think of is the Popeye movie starring Robin Williams. Someone on reddit said millions of people are selling their own children just to sign up for HBO and watch this show. I’ve never heard of Euphoria, but apparently 90% of the people on the twitter are watching the show according to reliable sources. I confirmed this on the internet. HBO may also be cancelling all other shows on their platform… Read more »
No that’s doubtful. And I highly unlikely. It needed to be canceled because it cost way too much to produce in the scripts were getting worse and worse and worse.
1970 middle years two movies were for syfy action Westworld so good look forward to seeing it every Sunday night drama. Enjoy it and love it all episodes .
Entropy set in immediately after season one. I like the ideas of the show, but the execution is sub par, unfortunately. The only character left with any charm is Maeve. I’m not an actor, but know what I like and don’t like. I find the other characters and actors mostly unappealing. The actors playing Hale and Caleb are not engaging. The writing is helping either. Shouldn’t the protagonist and antagonist be the most interesting characters? 315,000 viewers… even the CW cancelled Batwoman and their ratings ended with 415,000.
Westworld Season 1 was a masterpiece, universal acclaim. I consider it stand-alone television, the only “real” season of it. A bit like (bear with me here) Buck Rodgers, with an unsurpassed first season and a change-of-direction second season that was dire and lost the audience. Bait-&-Switch. It’s a shame but once you “Amber the Bed” then that’s it, it’s over. If your show WORKS, then work WITH that over subsequent seasons. You don’t have to do the same thing over and over, you can have progression, but stick to the heart of what was so appealing to start with. Breaking… Read more »
Eh…no one watches HBO on cable anymore. I would like to see the streaming numbers my friends. West world has plenty more seasons to come, even if you dont like it.
Uhhh… like if the numbers for streaming were better, they would put those out.
Oh my God look how bad those ratings are! People wanted to show so badly now look at it nobody’s watching it! There’s no reason to keep this show on anymore it’s overhyped over budget and just bluntly terrible.
It’s probably closer than ever to being cancelled. Casey Bloys just said they’ll ‘wait and see how it does’. For reference, the previous seasons were greenlit after airing the first three or four episodes.
