T10 WHATS UP! June 26 - July 2, 2022 and Delores and joins the fight to destabilize the society that harmed them. This latest season appears to be upping the ante even further, although specifics about the sto- ry are scant. The Season 4 poster features an homage to Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" — two robotic arms reaching for one another with a human skull stuck in the way. The tagline reads "Adapt or die," hinting at a further escalation in the "dark odyssey about the fate of sen- tient life on Earth." Wood will be playing a new role this season, stepping away from Delores's "violent delights" to play a young writer known only as Christina. Joining the cast as Christina's roommate is Academy Award-winning ac- tress Ariana DeBose ("West Side Story," 2021). Fans of the series — which is notorious for its myriad shocking plot twists and complicated storylines — are al- ready speculating on Christina's significance and whether she's another version of Delores. Further complicating matters in an already confusing story, the copy of Delores inhabiting Char- lotte's body declared her inde- pendence from the original at the end of last season, leaving both her motivations and the fate of Delores's ultimate plan unclear. "Westworld's" run has seen quite the accumulation of nota- ble stars, the most iconic being Anthony Hopkins ("The Silence of the Lambs," 1991) throughout its first two seasons as park founder Robert Ford. James Marsden ("Dead to Me") also returns for Season 4, after his character, the do-good- ing gunslinger Teddy, was killed off in the second season. Season 4 also stars Ed Harris ("The Tru- man Show," 1998), Luke Hems- worth ("Neighbours"), Angela Sarafyan ("Reminiscence," 2021) and Daniel Wu ("Into the Bad- lands"). A trailer for the new season has shown snippets of an appar- ent return to the park that start- ed it all, as well as breadcrumbs for potential new locales. Al- ready, the series has divulged quite the portfolio of Delos' theme parks, including Warworld, Shogunworld (a fan favorite) and The Raj. A few clips from the trailer now seem to suggest a Prohibition-era, ma- fia-themed addition to the robot fantasy vacation destinations may be in the cards. Series co-creator Lisa Joy ("Reminiscence," 2021) told Deadline that Season 4 will be, in a word, an "inversion," and that promise of a shake-up will certainly have fans dusting off their spurs ahead of the new sea- son. Because, after two years without any good, old-fashioned robot cowboy action, viewers are ready for more. Saddle up (or maybe just find a comfy spot on the couch) and tune in to the Season 4 pre- miere of "Westworld," airing Sunday, June 26, on HBO and HBO Max. continued from page T2 The new west: New frontiers explored in Season 4 of 'Westworld' TV FEATURE 5 x 5 Tessa Thompson stars in "Westworld"
