The show will end with Season 4.

Westworld was one of those shows that had anyone and everyone talking about it. Seriously, people couldn't get enough of it; myself included. But on Friday, HBO announced Westworld has been canceled. The show ends with Season 4.

According to Variety, "a multitude of factors went into the decision to end the sci-drama," from the cost to produce the show to lower viewership and changes within HBO's new parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.

Westworld was created by husband-and-wife team Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.

“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 Friday. “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.”

When Westworld premiered back in October 2016, it held HBO's highest viewership for a premiere since True Detective in 2014. It went on to become the most-watched show in its first season of any HBO original series, ever. However, over each new season, viewership and ratings started to fall.

Are you surprised by the cancellation of Westworld? Do you think another studio/network will pick it up?
