The third season has an ominous theme, “New World,” and seems to reflect some real-world happenings. The trailer includes a series of moments that spell apocalyptic disaster. The impeachment of the 45th president, a second civil war breaking out in Russia, and ecological disasters around the world seem to be a central focus.
Nolan revealed that he pulled inspiration for the new season from ‘Blade Runner,’ the 1982 Ridley Scott film. Though, Nolan did say he wanted to take a different spin on the season, saying:
“Dystopia can look pretty beautiful in the world. Just because the world is corrupt inside, doesn’t mean it can’t be smothered over and pretty. We wanted to find a version of dystopia that we hadn’t seen before.”
‘Westworld’ has been wildly successful. The first two seasons of the series picked up a combined 42 Emmy nominations. The second season had 20 nominations that resulted in three wins, including Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for Newton, Outstanding Makeup for a Single-Camera Series (Non-Prosthetic) and Outstanding Hairstyling for a Single-Camera Series.
