Showrunners Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan have been at the helm of HBO’s Westworld since the very beginning, and with the show now in its third season, they’re excited as ever for what’s to come. The dramatic sci-fi thriller, based loosely on Michael Crichton’s 1973 movie, follows a race of artificially intelligent robots in the not-too-distant future who violently rise up against the humans who’ve used and abused them for sport. For the first two seasons, audiences were immersed in Westworld’s 19th-century Western America theme park, but with a handful of robot “hosts” escaping into the real world, all that’s about to change.
“When Lisa and I were talking about the pilot, one of the things that was most exciting to us was, you learn the rules of these creatures and their world, and then you spring them out of there,” Nolan said in a recent interview with Variety. “And you’ve withheld from the audience, for the most part to that point, what the outside world looks like.”
It’s not just the setting that’ll be different this season. “It’s a lot more linear this season,” says Evan Rachel Wood, who plays Dolores, the host leading the AI rebellion against humanity. “It feels like we’re introducing a new show to the world again, starting over and building it from the ground up with these characters that we know and love, and with the elements that are still very much ‘Westworld.’”
We can’t wait to see what the third season has to offer as it unfolds!
