From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

HBO has announced that Westworld has been renewed for a fourth season.

The US network also confirmed that creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy will return for the next season of the hit sci-fi series.

In a statement, HBO programming president Casey Bloys said: “From the Western theme park to the technocratic metropolis of the near future, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every twist and turn from the minds of master storytellers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.”

“We can’t wait to see where their inspired vision takes us next.”

Inspired by the 1973 film of the same name, Westworld initially told the story of a high-tech tourist park populated by incredibly lifelike robots, but has since branched out to focus artificial intelligence in the wider world.

The series features an ensemble cast that includes Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Ed Harris and Tessa Thompson. Aaron Paul recently joined the cast for its third season.

In the UK, Westworld airs on Sky Atlantic, and is available to stream on NOW TV.
