HBO executive Casey Bloys revealed in an interview that fans' speculations are getting close to what may really happen in the succeeding episodes of "Westworld." The topic was brought up alongside the renewal of the hit TV series in which Bloys responded they are still waiting for "a very complete picture of the ratings."
With only a few episodes released since it first aired, HBO's "Westworld" already gained an overwhelming attention from its viewers. Now that secrets are slowly unraveled, fans cannot help but speculate and predict the events that will take place in the sci-fi TV drama, Variety reported.
The HBO boss expressed his appreciation over the followers' engagement on the TV show, and revealed that mysteries yet to be resolved in the current season are more of a "satisfaction" rather than "answers."
"I love reading the fan theories online. I think it's great the way people have engaged. I'm just pleased to see the reception from an engagement point of view, and that it has started all of these conversations. I think people will get the answers they're looking for by the end of Season One."
When asked whether fans were able to give the correct predictions, Bloys said some of the theories he was able to read online impressed him. He ended the response by saying that people are getting close on predicting what will happen in the future.
"Westworld" is currently on its fifth episode, "Contrapasso." In a review made by Slash Film, the publication noted it is convinced the show is slowly unfolding into two different timelines.
The article is speculating that the Man in Black, played by Ed Harris, and William, portrayed by Jimmi Simpson, are just the same person. Both of them are viewed from an almost 31-year gap.
Whether this has something to do with how showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy want to unfold the mysteries surrounding Westworld park, it has yet to be seen by viewers. Currently, "Westworld" has 12 million viewers per episode.
