During James‘ new interview with Rolling Stone, he said that the decision to cancel the series just after season four debuted on the network, a “disappointment.”
“I’d be lying to you if I told you that the way we ended Westworld wasn’t a disappointment,” he admitted. “I’m never going to speak without gratitude about any of my experiences, but it would have been nice to be able to complete the story we wanted to finish.”
James went on, saying that he loved his Westworld family.
“It was one of those unique opportunities to be part of something where I also would be sitting at home ravenously waiting for the next episode as a fan. I totally understand it’s an expensive show and big shows have to have big audiences to merit the expense, I just wish it was about more than financial success,” he shared.
James is also still holding out hope that the series might be saved and picked up at another network.
“Who knows, maybe there’s some world where it can get completed somehow,” he mused. “Maybe that’s just wishful thinking, because I know we had plans to finish it the way we wanted to.”
HBO announced the decision to end the science fiction series in November 2022, and it was revealed the cast would still be paid for the previously announced fifth season.
