From the ashes of the old world known as Westworld comes one that is ruled by the hosts. Season 1 of HBO’s Westworld ended with the robotic hosts being freed from the chains of their programming, and upon that freedom came an uprising against the guests who committed every act of violence known to man on them. With the hosts no longer playing victim to these sick games, it was about time that they rise up and took charge. And it is starting to look like that is what they are doing in the newly released trailer for Westworld Season 2 that dropped last night during the Super Bowl. Check it out here below.

Violent Delights is a weekly podcast where hosts Andrew Sorcini, Dwayne DeFreitas, and Tosin Onafowokan discuss HBO’s Westworld, and the larger questions this ambitious show hopes to tackle.

In this special edition of the Violent Delights podcast, Andy, Dwayne, and Tosin breakdown the San Diego Comic-Con trailer for HBO’s Westworld Season 2, shot-by-shot, and what it reveals for the upcoming season.

And though the show is currently in production, the cast and crew of Westworld were at SDCC this weekend to “talk” about what they’ve been up to. They even had some new footage to show in a new trailer. Check it out here below.
