The third season of Westworld released on the network on 15th March. Former cast members Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, and Jeffrey Wright rejoined the cast for the season. Additionally, newcomers Tessa Thomspon and Aaron Paul were also introduced in the show. The plot of the third season features events that take place three months after the end of the second season. The story takes place in the year 2058, and the city of neo-Los Angeles. However, the third season of Westworld experienced a considerable drop in viewership count. The drop figure is nearly 57%, which is a bizarre happening.
