New Westworld Season 2 Trailer Brings The Robot Apocalypse And It's Awesome
The trailer has arrived and the anticipation for a new season of Westworld has reached a fever pitch. HBO has released the best look yet at the new season (as well as another secret video), which reveals so much, while also conjuring up dozens of new questions about what fans of the series are going to see when it arrives.
The clip runs over two-and-a-half minutes and makes it clear that the robot uprising has arrived and nothing will ever be the same in this world. While it seems as though Westworld will still be flashing back to the conversations between Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) before either of them realized they were artificial intelligence, so much of the trailer is set after the events of Season 1.
Dolores and Teddy (James Marsden) are traveling the west and killing humans along the way--although Teddy doesn't seem as fond of it as his robotic love. Maeve (Thandie Newton) is in search of her daughter, and everyone else is simply trying to survive as the bodies pile up. "Up until this point the stakes were never real," the man in black (Ed Harris) says. "But now, you and the rest of your kind are free."
One of the most intriguing moments of the trailer, outside of the glimpses at Shogun world, is seeing William (Jimmi Simpson), before he became the man in black, going to see Dolores in the Delos labs. The look on his face isn't entirely friendly but looks to be more plotting than anything else. Perhaps this is the moment he makes the change from the lovesick guy who has feelings for a robot to the heartless monster that caused so much chaos in the first season.
Whatever the case, there is no denying who's in control now and it's the hosts. "Here we are, the kind that will never know death and yet we're fighting to live," Dolores tells Bernard. "There is beauty in what we are."
Westworld returns to HBO on April 22.
