'Westworld' Season 4: Ed Harris, Tessa Thompson & Angela Sarafyan on Their Story Arcs

[Editor’s note: The following contains some spoilers for Season 4 of Westworld.]From show creators Lisa Joy and Jonah Nolan, the fourth season of the HBO series Westworld has jumped seven years forward in time and presents a disorienting new world that continues to lead its audience down a path of questioning anything and everything that presents itself as reality. Everything feels unsettling, as you wonder who’s a host and who’s a human. While some who were human are now hosts, some hosts have become different beings from what they once were, and some have evolved in their abilities, all talking steps toward whatever terrifying goal they’ve set their sights on now.

Ed Harris suggests that "Westworld" will end with Season 5

This story originally appeared on Winter is Coming. "Westworld" is back, and in general the critical consensus seems to be that Season 4 is the best outing for the show in a while. "Westworld" made a big splash when it debuted on HBO in 2016, fascinating people with a look into the not-too-distant future when androids have advanced to the point where they're ready to fight back against their human oppressors. The show waffled in quality over the last couple of seasons, so it's good to see it returning to its roots.

At 71, Amy Madigan From ‘Uncle Buck’ Takes Her Work Home With Husband Ed Harris

Throughout the 1989 comedy Uncle Buck, the titular relative played by John Candy was often in over his head. He had an anchor in the form of Chanice Kobolowski, played by Amy Madigan. Their dynamic allows for both great hilarity and important story beats for poor Buck to deal with. But after helping a hapless uncle out, Madigan had plenty more to work on, awards to win, and a full filmography to build.

Westworld's Ed Harris On The Difference In Playing A Host Vs. A Human

Examining the difference between humans and machines is the core theme of HBO's "Westworld." In our real life, we're edging closer and closer to sentient AI (if it's not already here), and the moral implications of that idea have been a cornerstone of sci-fi for about as long as computers have existed.
