EXCLUSIVE: Aurora Perrineau (Prodigal Son) is set for a key recurring role on the upcoming fourth season of HBO’s Westworld, I have learned. Her character is being kept under wraps but I hear Perrineau is expected to appear in at least five episodes. HBO declined comment.

Season 3 picked up three months after the events of the second season with Evan Rachel Wood’s Dolores having escaped Westworld with a few processing cores including that of Jeffrey Wright’s Bernard. Taking residence in neo-Los Angeles in 2058, Dolores developed a relationship with Aaron Paul’s Caleb and came to learn how artificial beings and lower-class humans are treated in the real world. Meanwhile, Thandiwe Newton’s Maeve found herself in another part of the Delos park, based on Fascist Italy during WWII.
