From Westworld's fourth season to Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, here is everything headed to HBO Max in June 2022.
She's part of a long list of celebrities who have quit the social media platform.
Big news out of Bethesda Studios today, and no, it's not the latest update to the beleaguered Fallout 76 experiment. Turns out that Amazon Studios has licensed the rights to the worldwide best-selling game franchise Fallout, with acclaimed producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films attached to produce the project, which is currently in development with a series commitment. So if you're a fan of the duo's Westworld adaptation, or just a fan of the long-running post-apocalyptic video game franchise in general, this is a reason to celebrate. If you're not …
It's only been a few weeks since the Westworld Season 3 finale and we're already looking ahead to Season 4. At least, series co-creator Jonathan Nolan is already looking ahead, which means we are, too, and subsequently seeing if any of his teases could help fuel a whole new set of theories. [caption id="attachment_885957" align="alignright" width="360"] Photo by John P. Johnson/HBO[/caption] Turns out, Nolan might have dropped a notable clue during a virtual roundtable discussion courtesy of the Paley Center for Media (via Entertainment Weekly), which aired earlier this week. The roundtable …
The Westworld Season 3 finale offered up a number of twists but also a number of cliffhangers, and now the show’s executive producers are shedding a little bit of light on what it all meant and what to expect from Season 4. Indeed, HBO has already renewed the series for Season 4, and reports suggest the series could continue through Season 6, so there’s still plenty of story to tell. And yet, Season 3 felt like an endpoint in many ways. Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) had her memories erased. William (Ed Harris)—or at least we think that …

Be aware there are SPOILERS for the Westworld Season 3 finale, “Crisis Theory.” Westworld’s third season may have only run eight episodes, but that doesn’t mean it skimped on the world-building, tech-fuelled philosophizing, or game-changing character reveals, especially in the grand finale. Season 3 wrapped up with an extended episode that packed in a long runtime and not one, but two post-credits scenes, establishing time jumps, delivering long-awaited character payoffs, and wrapping up with some pretty major character deaths along the way. So let’s break down exactly what happened – and what it …
The new season of Westworld really hammered home that showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy lack the nuts-and-bolts storytelling to deliver on the big ideas their series reaches for. It's fine to make a show about free will, predestination, privacy, and security, but what carries a dramatic series like this forward is investment in the characters, and Westworld Season 3 showed that the writers still haven't figured that out. The season started strong enough with the introduction of Caleb (Aaron Paul) and Serac (Vincent Cassel), but by the time Season 3 reached its conclusion, its grand …
The Westworld Season 3 finale aired on Sunday night, and in classic Westworld fashion, it left us with a lot of questions. HBO has already ordered a fourth season of the show, so fans can rest easy knowing those many, many cliffhangers will be resolved at some point in the future. Moreover, showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy reportedly have a six-season plan for the series, which means we’re only at the halfway point in this overall story. But the Westworld Season 3 finale, titled “Crisis Theory,” brought the show’s central thematic conflict to its head: does …
Well Westworld Season 3, it’s been a wild journey that’s for sure. The HBO series essentially rebooted itself this year with an eight-episode venture outside the parks, as Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) enacted her plan to kill all humans, Maeve (Thandie Newton) decided to stop her for some reason, and Bernard (Jeffrey Wright)… well, Bernard was done dirty this season, but here’s hoping he becomes a central character when the show returns (it’s already been renewed for Season 4). As for the Westworld Season 3 finale—which was titled “Crisis Theory” and was written by …
After last week’s Westworld drew clear battle lines and set Halores (Tessa Thompson) on a course for vengeance, in Season 3’s penultimate episode we get… a Caleb (Aaron Paul) origin story. To be fair, it’s intertwined with some backstory on Rehoboam and Serac’s (Vincent Cassel) brother, but by and large we’re taking a detour at this late stage in the season to flesh out Caleb, who may or may not play a major role in the series to come. Let’s dig into it.…
The third season of Westworld started out fairly strong by leaving the park and introducing new characters like Caleb (Aaron Paul), but as the show has lurched into its fifth and sixth episodes of its eight-episode season, it's clear that showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have no idea how to manage the nuts-and-bolts storytelling to serve their big ideas about free-will, predestination, privacy, and data. But the show must go on because it's IP and HBO needs IP. HBO has announced that they've renewed Westworld for a fourth season, which is pretty …
Spoilers for Westworld Season 3 Episode 6 follow below. One of the questions that Westworld viewers have been trained to ask ever since the first season aired is, who is secretly a host? Famously (or infamously?) Season 1’s big reveal was that Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) was actually a host, not a human. Season 2 revealed Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) to be a secret host. And now in Season 3, one of the show’s central protagonists finds himself wrestling with the age-old question: Am I actually a robot? So is William a host? We’ve actually been asking that …
Westworld got off to a refreshingly slow start this season. The first couple of episodes just focused on one or two characters at a time, really giving audiences time to kind of languish in the lives of Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Caleb (Aaron Paul) and Maeve (Thandie Newton) and Bernard (Jeffrey Wright). But it appears that Westworld Season 3’s new normal is to put the foot on the gas and cover as much ground as possible. After last week’s installment was packed nearly to the point of incoherence, this week’s episode—aptly named “Decoherence”—similarly tackles …
The fun family flick Sonic the Hedgehog is now available to watch in your own home (currently available on digital from Paramount Home Entertainment, and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and for rental on-demand on May 19th), and some versions even have a variety of extras that include a new animation, deleted scenes, a blooper reel, the origins of the speedy little blue character, and commentary. In this adventure, helmed by director Jeff Fowler, Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) embraces and is enjoying his new home on Earth, until he accidentally catches the attention of evil genius …
This week’s Westworld was, um, a lot. We not only got to find out what Dolores’ plan is, we got to see her enact it. And we got an ambitious visual treat. And we got an origin story for Serac and Rehoboam. By the end of the episode the lines are drawn in the sand: Team Human and Team Host. We know what each side wants, if not necessarily how they plan on getting it. There’s a lot to dig into with “Genre,” which was written by Karrie Crouse and Jonathan Nolan and directed by Anna Foerster, so …
Created for television by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the HBO series Westworld is back for Season 3, as it continues its exploration of artificial consciousness and the question of free will. Set in the futuristic present day of 2058, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) is out of the Westworld park and moving around in the real world, digging deeper into all of the unanswered questions from the past two seasons — a definite threat to the mysterious Engerraund Serac (Vincent Cassel), who has ties to what's been going on in the Delos theme parks. During this 1-on-1 phone …

Now set in the futuristic present day of 2058, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) is out in the real world and digging deeper into all of the unanswered questions from the past two seasons, and things are bound to get very interesting once Bernard (Jeffrey Wright), who’s recently been reset, figures out just what she’s up to.
