It is confirmed that  HBO’s sci-fi drama Westworld has been cancelled after four seasons.

Based on Michael Crichton’s novel, Westworld depicted an android-populated amusement park for the wealthy. Season 3 moved to the real world. The Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy-created series stars Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Ed Harris, and James Marsden.

“Over the past four seasons, Lisa and Jonah have taken viewers on a mind-bending odyssey, raising the bar at every step,” HBO said in a statement to E! News. “We are tremendously grateful to them, along with their immensely talented cast, producers and crew, and all of our partners at Kilter Films, Bad Robot and Warner Bros. Television. It’s been a thrill to join them on this journey.”

Westworld’s expansive cast included Aaron Paul, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward and Anthony Hopkins throughout its run.

“Making Westworld has been one of the highlights of our careers,” creators Jonathan and Lisa said in a statement to E! News. “We are deeply grateful to our extraordinary cast and crew for creating these indelible characters and brilliant worlds. We’ve been privileged to tell these stories about the future of consciousness—both human and beyond—in the brief window of time before our AI overlords forbid us from doing so.”

Lisa admitted at the conclusion of season four that she was unsure if the show will return for a fifth season, but she was thankful for the experience nonetheless.

“The actors they’ve become such valuable, intimate friends and collaborators, so it really does feel like we’re all asking the same questions and working together to try to tell a story that we hope resonates with someone,” she said in August. “I just feel very, very fortunate to have that collective experience. Honestly, it’s been it’s been really meaningful to me.”
