The series premiere of Westworld is less than a week away now already. HBO has released a new video titled “Welcome to Westworld,” in which cast and crew including creators, showrunners, and executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, executive producer J.J. Abrams, and stars Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, and James Marsden discuss the show.
Westworld is set in a future where we’ve gone beyond virtual reality and a place exists where people can live out their every fantasy in the real world. This is made possible by robots—called Hosts in the series—who look, feel, and even think like real human beings.
In addition to the video, a brief new promo has also been released which focuses on the characters Maeve (Newton) and Dolores (Wood). Both of these videos can be viewed below.
A website has been launched, made to look like an official site for the park seen in the show. Here’s some information on the fictional park from that site, which gives you a better idea of the setting of the series:
