Season 3 Ratings
After looking up the ratings of this season for the first time, I'm somewhat concerned for the future of the show. Although Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan have said they have a plan for 5 seasons, season 4 has yet to be confirmed by HBO.
[Season 1](https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/westworld-season-one-ratings/) averaged 1.822 live viewers per episode, [season 2](https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/westworld-season-two-ratings/) averaged 1.573, and [this season](https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/westworld-season-three-ratings/) has averaged only 0.805. Possibly more concerning than the raw numbers, every episode this season has resulted in a decline in viewership except for episode 3. This includes a huge 56% drop in viewers from the season 2 finale to the season 3 premiere. For comparison, the season 2 premiere had a 5% increase in viewers from the end of season 1.
Keep in mind these numbers only reflect live viewers when the episode debuts, so streaming after the fact isn't included.
