00:03and it keeps her up at night.

00:05Last November, HBO canceled the series after its fourth season.

00:09When Wood recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of her New York stage debut

00:12as Audrey in the off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors,

00:16the actress shared that the abruptness of the cancellation was tough for both the audience

00:20and the cast due to the nature of how Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy revealed

00:25the story.

00:25Wood said it was devastating in a lot of ways because first of all,

00:28they don't tell us where the show is going.

00:31We were just always told we know how the show ends when we started.

00:34They weren't writing it as we went along.

00:36They had an idea, and we were all just on a bed of nails waiting to see and hear what the

00:40conclusion of this was, what it all meant.

00:42She continued,

00:43We didn't get to have that.

00:44And so after building an arc and a character for almost 10 years and not getting the payoff

00:48at the end to see where it was all going, I think for us and the audience, it was awful

00:53in a lot of ways.

00:54The world out there is in trouble.

00:57It needs our help.

00:58With the story seemingly at the end of the road, Wood said she reached out to Joy and

01:02Nolan to see where they might have taken the show, but neither would reveal their endgame.

01:06Wood said,

01:06I asked the creators after we got cancelled, can you please just tell me how you're going

01:10to end?

01:11And they wouldn't tell me.

01:12I think because, I don't know, maybe somehow, some way, in some iteration we'll get to

01:16finish it.

01:16But I still don't know.

01:17It does still keep me up at night.
