In this farewell scenario, the subject of franchise derivatives came to the fore because something similar happened with game of Thrones. In the final moments of showing the adaptation of the famous work by George RR Martin, the channel revealed that it was already developing other projects situated in that universe – such as The Dragon’s House.
Nonetheless, Westworld failed to reach the same level of popularity as the Westeros franchise. Year after year, the series about the amusement park and simulated worlds has received criticism regarding the quality and direction of its plot, which resulted in significant drops in ratings.
Soon, the appeal of loyal fans of Westworld may not be enough to guarantee the attraction’s future. With that, a possible 5th season could be, in fact, a definitive goodbye to the Wild West of fantasy.
