Has Westworld season 4 resumed filming?
According to a recent report by Deadline, HBO's Westworld has resumed its filming for season 4. The series, created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, had taken a two-day break owing to someone in the production testing positive for COVID-19. However, according to the latest report, the show must have taken all steps necessary for prevention of COVID-19, since the production is back on track.
The report claims that production resumed, "as early as last week". The show will reportedly continue to film at the Melody Ranch studio in Newhall, CA where several other western-themed projects have been shot in the past. HBO's Deadwood and Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were also filmed at the same studio.
Several shows stopped filming for a brief period last month, due to COVID-19 complications. The list of shows included Westworld, American Horror Story season 10, Bridgerton and House of the Dragon among others. Along with Westworld, Bridgerton has also reportedly gotten back on track with their filming of season 2, according to a report by Variety.
