Typically money isn't as much of an issue after just one season. HBO is known for locking actors in for multiple seasons before they even shoot the first season. Of course, the actors never know if the show is going to be a hit or not or picked up for another season or not.
In the case of a lot of these shows, it is a combination of things. One is scheduling. In Westworld's case, there is a decent chance some of the actors have other jobs they have to finish before coming back to the show. The other is production time. High-quality shows take a while to write, shoot, edit, etc.
Would you rather wait a little longer and get something that is great or have it sooner and be not as good?
