Aaron Paul joins HBO's Westworld

Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul has joined the cast of the third season of HBO’s Westworld

Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) has joined the cast of the third season of HBO’s series Westworld, according to Deadline. There is currently no info on the character, but the site says Paul’s character will be recurring.

The TV series is based on the film written by best-selling author Michael Crichton. Westworld is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and evolution of sin. Set at the intersection of the near future and a reimagined past, the series explores a world in which every human appetite, no matter how noble or depraved, can be indulged.

Westworld features a star-studded cast led by Academy Award winner Sir Anthony Hopkins, Golden Globe winner Ed Harris, Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Evan Rachel Wood, and Golden Globe nominee Thandie Newton.

The cast of this 10-episode phenomenon also includes Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Ben Barnes, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Clifton Collins, Jr., Luke Hemsworth, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Simon Quarterman, Rodrigo Santoro, Angela Sarafyan, Jimmi Simpson, Tessa Thompson and Shannon Woodward. Executive produced by Abrams, Nolan, Joy, Jerry Weintraub and Bryan Burk, Westworld is produced by Kilter Films in association with Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television.

I can’t express my love for this series enough. So much so that I contributed to the upcoming book Westworld Psychology: Violent Delights. Yes, this is a shameless plug and you can order it here.
