Watch out, spoilers follow.
Based on the 1973 movie directed by Jurassic Park writer Michael Crichton, Westworld is a drama series set in an android theme park designed to resemble the West for the first two seasons.
Season 3 spends more time in the human world, and Season 4 is expected to continue on that path and build on existing stories.
Westworld Season 3 focused on Bernard’s journey to understand Sublime, the secret server that [Spoilers] Aaron Paul’s Caleb started and ended the revolution and some hosts fled. Caleb could continue the revolution on behalf of Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood), who died at the end of Season 3.
However, it seems that the fate of Dolores is still unknown. Serac, a now-dead crazy billionaire whose AI dominates humanity, has wiped out Delore’s memory, but all hosts must die in order for her to really die.
Regarding how the other storylines follow, Maeve (Thandiwe Newton) is to continue her search for her daughter and Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) might continue building her host army. Humanity will likely continue to descend into anarchy in season four.
