New players joining the ensemble are Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Vincent Cassel (Jason Bourne), Lena Waithe (Master of None), Scott Mescudi (We Are Who We Are), Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), John Gallagher Jr. (The Newsroom), Michael Ealy (Stumptown) and Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy).

Thandie Newton returns as Maeve Millay. She scored a Primetime Emmy Award for her work on the series back in 2018, following season two, and has also earned two Golden Globe nominations. 
 

Marvel fan-favorite Tessa Thompson (Thor: Love and Thunder) returns as Maeve, but based on the SDCC trailer, it looks like she'll be pulling double duty this season as in addition to her original role, she'll also be playing Dolores from time-to-time. 
 

Gotham's new Commissioner Jeffrey Wright (The Batman) returns as Bernard Lowe. While he's already won both a Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy, he's also earned two Primetime Emmy nominations for his work on this series. 
 

Evan Rachel Wood returns as Dolores Abernathy. She's earned two Primetime Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination for her work on the series. 
 

Despite seemingly meeting his end at the end of Westworld season two, 4x Academy Award-nominee and 2x Golden Globe-winner Ed Harris (Top Gun: Maverick) will be back as the Man in Black. He nabbed a Primetime Emmy nomination for his work in season two. 
 

Golden Globe-nominee Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad; El Camino) joins the series as Caleb, a mysterious - but very important - new character who will have a major role to play in the coming season.

Simon Quarterman as Lee Sizemore returning... ? huh. interesting. Don't get me wrong, the redemption arc he went thru in s2 made him one of my favorite characters, but he sure as hell looked like he very willingly took more than a few fatal gunshots in that big moment in the s2 finale. he ded

Though speaking of taking a shot or two, I just did a rewatch of both seasons of most of the stuff in the last few days, it's kind of ludicrous that William/MIB lasts as long as he does. First of all, Ed Harris is already like friggin 72 or some shit even on his best, healthiest day. Then, between the sequence at the very end of the s1 finale, and by the end of the s2 finale, there's only like two weeks that have transpired(?), and he's now suffered like 7 different gunshots lol Even with none of them directly hitting any major internal organs, he should be all rights be dead well before then.

Is season 2 any good...?

I literally haven't gone back to it since it first aired. I only got through the first 2 episodes or something but just wasn't feeling it. I'm checking out season 3 regardless but still.

@Kurne - Not as strong as the first, also the "twists" at the end were very dull. Ed Harris was definitely the standout and the only character that held my interest.

Is it just me or did any of you guys find Sir Anthony Hopkins'character a huge hypocrite? I mean he is the only one responsible for everything the hosts went through. But now he is acting all high and mighty, blaming others for his mistakes and helping them kill thousands of innocent people who works at the parks. I also find Dolores really annoying.

Nice, less episodes means a more focused storyline for the season.
