Aaron Paul Joins the Cast of ‘Westworld’ Season 3

Westworld
Aaron Paul is heading to Westworld. Right now, we don’t have confirmation if he’ll yell “Yeah, science!” in response to his character seeing what goes on at the park (or perhaps out of the park).

 

According to Deadline, the Breaking Bad star has joined HBO’s hit sci-fi adaptation for its upcoming third season. No character details are available at the moment, the producers are being understandably “tight-lipped” about that, but Deadline are reporting that Paul’s character will be a series regular.

 

Westworld received an incredible twenty one Emmy nominations for its sophomore season, winning three Creative Arts Emmys. Whilst the third season currently has no release date, the show’s producers told The Hollywood Reporter that the next season will be a “radical shift” from what has come before, going so far as suggesting that it’s a complete reimagining of the show (which wouldn’t be all that surprising, considering the way that the explosive finale effectively flipped the script on everything). Some expect the series to return as late as 2020 based on the schedules of the cast and crew.
