'Westworld' Creators Troll Internet With Season 2 "Spoiler" Video Among the solved cases: the Man in Black’s true identity as William ( Jimmi Simpson), Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) secretly being one of the hosts, and Bernard also being based on the likeness of park co-founder Arnold Weber. Reddit detectives and other sleuths all over the Internet spent weeks embedded in the theory trenches, in an attempt to figure out the biggest mysteries ahead of the show’s reveals. Among the many reasons why Westworldcaptured imaginations with its first season, the fervent desire to solve the show’s riddle-filled narrative stands close to the top. Those are the kinds of questions the cast members loved chewing on over the course of filming season two, and certainly the same questions fans devour with insatiable appetites. “How do you think Lawrence would react if he started developing a little bit of a conscience?” “There are awakenings happening,” said Clifton Collins Jr., who plays Lawrence, the host who often acts as the Man in Black’s gunslinging wing man. In engineering his own death at the hands of Dolores, and in unshackling the programming that prevented the hosts from harming the guests, Ford created a new status quo in which the hosts could not only rule Westworld and the surrounding parks (and yes, plural: beyond Westworld and the already teased Shogun World, the existence of at least four other parks has been confirmed by viral marketing for the show), but the wider world itself. Over the course of the first season, various hosts embarked on journeys of self-discovery, all thanks to the designs of park founder Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), who realized far too late in his life that his creations could be both physically and morally superior to humanity.

It’s an awful lot of fun.”īased on the 1973 Michael Crichton film of the same name, Westworldtakes place in a far future where human “guests” visit a park populated by robot “hosts.” Unlike the film, the TV series finds its roots in the perspectives of the hosts, originally presented as malfunctioning antagonists in Crichton’s movie.
The container we created in season one is blown open. “This season, we’re tearing down that structure. “Season one was very much about setting up the world and the characters in it, and the structures that we’re working with,” said Simon Quarterman, the actor who plays narcissistic narrative director Lee Sizemore. And the question now is: once you have power, what do you do with it?” All of the hosts are moving toward agency. “By the finale of the season, Dolores has claimed some power for herself. “For me, one of the fascinating things about season one is we were looking at hosts trying to understand the nature of their own reality as they come into power,” co-creator Joy said. Indeed, much is changing as Westworldenters its second season, shattering the previous status quo in favor of a new narrative filled with expanding notions of consciousness, empowerment, oppression, war and what it means to be alive. It might sound like I’m bullshitting, but I’m not. I’m about to embark on one of my favorite parts of being on the show: watching the show. Then you watch it, and it’s a totally different story. Then you shoot it, and it’s a totally different story. “I feel like there are three phases for someone who takes part in the show,” said Ptolemy Slocum, who plays the selfish lab technician Sylvester. Many of the actors count themselves among the fans awaiting the show’s twists and turns, given how little the cast members know about the series as they’re shooting it. We’ll be seeing more and more of who she really is.”įans are understandably eager to know not only Dolores’ next move, but the greater narrative’s next steps. “Now she’s well and familiar with all sides of herself: the Dolores that we love, the darker Wyatt version, and she’s also building herself anew as we watch her throughout the season. “You’re getting a much darker version of Dolores this year, that’s for sure,” Wood told THRabout what’s next for her human-slaying host.
