Fallout co-creator Jonathan Nolan wants a shot at tying up Westworld’s loose ends

Sense8 got a feature-length finale after being cancelled, so there’s a chance.

“Yes. 100 percent… We’re completionists… It took me eight years and a change of director to get Interstellar made. We’d like to finish the story we started,” Fallout ’s co-creator explained. “I’m so f—ing proud of what we made. It was an extraordinary experience. I think it would be a mistake to look back and only feel regret [over how it ended]. But there’s still very much a desire to finish it.”

We often hear creatives behind cancelled shows discuss what their plans were. Nolan’s words, meanwhile, seem to indicate that he’s not given up on Westworld just yet and wants to shop a conclusion around town. Mind you, that’s an approach that’s worked in the past, sometimes even under the umbrella of the company that axed the series to begin with, which was Sense8 ’s case at Netflix.

It’s also important to point out that Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max (formerly HBO Max), in all its wisdom, also deleted the HBO-produced series from its own streaming service, shipping it off to free and ad-supported platforms owned by third parties to make quick cash. Regardless of your opinion on Westworld’s latter seasons, seeing an Emmy-winning ‘prestige’ series receive that level of unfair treatment is kind of sickening.
