Winter TV Finales - Westworld - Season Four

The fourth season of the American science fiction dystopian television series Westworld (subtitled The Choice) premiered on HBO/Binge in Australia late June.

Like P Valley and Evil it concluded this Sunday just gone, August 14, 2022. Like the previous season it consisted of eight episodes, a drop from ten episodes which was the first two seasons count.

Returning for the fourth season, Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Aaron Paul, James Marsden, and Ed Harris.

Like previous seasons we have waited around 2 years to get another fix of the Westworld. So if you never got The Maze, The Door or The New World, it's time to catch up on all four seasons now on Binge.

It did also have a very series finale feel. Things felt, final, final on this one. To be honest the last season or one before could have also acted as finales. Now the spoilers for episode eight, Que Será, Será appear below the trailer. Read on at your own risk! You have been warned.


In the wake of the host William's actions, humans and hosts are being wiped out. Caleb, Frankie and Stubbs evade the violence amongst the humans and stop at a pharmacy to tend to Frankie's wounds, but Clementine appears and kills Stubbs before being overpowered and killed by Caleb and Frankie. 

The two reach their extraction boat; Caleb, whose host body is about to fail, bids farewell to his daughter. Charlotte is revived by drone hosts and finds recorded instructions left for her by Bernard prior to his death. She retrieves Dolores' original control unit, which contains a simulation of the world inhabited by Christina (who created Teddy, Maya, and others to help herself gain sentience). 

Charlotte then follows William to Hoover Dam and stops him from deactivating the Sublime (using a gun planted by Bernard), before removing and destroying his control unit. She then uploads Dolores' control unit into the Sublime before destroying her own. 

Dolores awakens inside the Sublime and decides to attempt to give sentient life another chance at avoiding extinction, realizing that neither humans nor hosts can survive in the real world. She starts by recreating the original Westworld park inside the Sublime.

Is season four the end of the HBO sci-fi robot romp? Time will tell, no renewal information is available at the time of posting. My guess is, it's either cancelled or renewed for a fifth and final season, like to air in another two years. This show has massive production value! Massive! P Valley tomorrow folks!
