EW reports (via THR) that Nolan plans to make the ex-flagship series’ fifth and final season, even if HBO has moved on.

Three months after it was renewed for season five, HBO abruptly changed course and suddenly canceled “Westworld” last year, the dystopian science-fiction series by creator Jonathan Nolan (co-writer on ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy) and his wife and creative partner Lisa Joy. “Westworld” wasn’t cheap to make; the ten-episode first season was reportedly produced on a budget of approximately $100 million, with per-episode budgets somewhere between $8 million to $10 million, and the pilot episode alone costing $25 million to produce.

The weapon discovered by Bernard and C is also the dead body of Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) – indicating she is the key to setting humanity and the hosts free from Hale’s copy of Dolores.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the twist, Perrineau confirmed she had no knowledge of her character’s identity prior to filming episode four.“Nothing, I didn’t know anything,” Perrineau said.
