Westworld Season 4 Adds Ariana DeBose In Mysterious Role
Ariana DeBose joins the cast of Westworld season 4. The 31-year-old star recently secured her first Academy Award for her performance as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s musical, West Side Story. Making her television debut in 2009’s So You Think You Can Dance, DeBose has since featured in the Apple TV comedy Schmigadoon! and the Broadway cast of Hamilton, as well as providing the voice of Danielle in Netflix’s Big Mouth spinoff, Human Resources. DeBose's star is only rising, as she was also cast in Sony's Marvel movie Kraven the Hunter.
Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, Westworld made its debut on HBO in 2016 to widespread praise. Based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 original film, the award-winning series centres on the development of sentient androids which are kept in a number of so-called theme parks for the entertainment of humans and deprived of free will. After an almost two-year break, HBO recently released the first trailer for Westworld season 4, teasing the unexpected return of Evan Rachel Wood after the apparent death of her original character, Dolores, in season 3.
