“We always planned for a fifth and final season,” Nolan said. “We are still in conversations with the network. We very much hope to make them.”

Previously, co-creator Lisa Joy told Deadline that “Jonah (Nolan) and I have always had an ending in mind that we hope to reach. We have not quite reached it yet.”

Season 4 wrapped in August. HBO has typically renewed the drama while originals of the sci-fi were still airing, but that was before the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery and the subsequent cuts that have rocked the company.

Nolan and Joy are now exec producing dropped the latest trailer for The Peripheral, based on the bestselling novel by William Gibson. It premieres Oct. 21.
