Westworld Season 2: "The Stakes Have Risen," Creator Says
Westworld Season 2: "The Stakes Have Risen," Creator Says-October 2024

  With Westworld Season 1 wrapped up, fans of the series might be wondering what's coming next. While we have to wait until 2017 or 2018 for Season 2, creator Jonathan Nolan has now discussed some of what the second season will be about--and it sounds very intriguing.

  

Westworld spoilers follow below.

In a new HBO video, Nolan talks about how, as you might have assumed, the host Dolores will be a key character in Season 2. She is coming to terms with her existence--and it's going to get violent and more mind-bending.

  "One of the main questions of the second season is where does Dolores go from here?" Nolans says. "We wanted to start with a Disney princess and end with 'Liberty leading the people'; a great French portrait of leading the revolution. We've understand through the course of the first season that she is trying to resolve her own inner decency with the obscenity of her position within this park."

  In Season 1, Dolores, having been programmed with the knowledge by Dr. Ford (Anthony Hopkins), learns that she cannot escape Westworld without altering her mind and existence.

  "The point that she comes to, one underlined by Ford, is you can't escape this place," Nolan says. "You can't be free by being the person you are. The first season was about a theme park; now it's about a very, very dangerous environment. The fantasy has become reality."

  In the Westworld Season 1 finale, we saw Dolores gunning down human guests, including Dr. Ford. Viewers can expect more violent confrontations between hosts and guests in Season 2, apparently.

  "The gloves have come off. The guests can be hurt, killed; they're locked in with the hosts," Nolan says. "The stakes have risen dramatically. It should be a lot of fun."

  In other news about Westworld, Nolan says you should "assuming nothing" about which characters could show up in Season 2.
