Thanks to the
teaser trailer that was released back in May, we know
Westworld season 3 is going to be set quite a few years after the events of season 2, but we now have quite a bit more to go on.
For starters, the narrative is going to be a lot more straightforward.
“This is season is a little less of a guessing game and more of an experience with the hosts finally getting to meet their makers,” co-showrunner Jonathan Nolan reveals to
EW. “I love shows that find a groove and hang with it for 100 episodes — that was never this show.”
Although the story will pick up directly after the season 2 finale, we will eventually jump forward to near-future LA and catch up with Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) who has struck up a friendship (relationship?) with a construction worker named Caleb (Aaron Paul).
“Aaron’s character will challenge Dolores’ notions about the nature of humanity,” Nolan says.
“He’s the type of person who doesn’t get to go to Westworld.”
Nolan wouldn't spill the beans on which other familiar faces we'd be bumping into, but we do know that Jeffrey Wright (Bernard) and Thandie Newton (Maeve) are likely to return.
Westworld season 3 is set to premiere on HBO next year. Get your first glimpse of a far more modern-looking Dolores below.
