Beloved Breaking Bad star to join the cast of Westworld

Carl Kinsella

Aaron Paul Westworld

Westworld, bitch!

That’s right. Aaron Paul, known to fans of Breaking Bad as Jesse Pinkman, has agreed to join the cast of HBO’s Westworld for Season 3.

As reported by Deadline, the 39-year-old actor is expected to play a recurring role in the show’s third season. Its most recent season rocked up no fewer than 21 Emmy nominations.

Paul himself is no stranger to the awards scene, having Paul won three times for his co-starring role as Jesse Pinkman on AMC’s Breaking Bad.

There is no official confirmation of Paul’s addition just yet.

It’s not clear what viewers can expect from the third season of the show, but showrunner Jonathan Nolan has said: “I think it’s a radical shift.

“What’s compelling and appealing about these characters is that they’re not human. As we said in the show, humans are bound by the same loops the hosts are, in some ways even smaller. You couldn’t expect human characters to withstand and survive the kind of story that we’re telling.”
