Westworld Season 2 ends June 25

-

The second season of the critically acclaimed, smash-hit HBO drama series, Westworld, will culminate with episode 10 titled The Passenger, streaming same time as the US on June 25 at 9 a.m. on HBO GO and premiering on HBO with a same day primetime encore at 10 p.m. The season finale will boast the longest runtime for the series, clocking in a one-and-a-halfhour feature-length episode.

Winner of five 2017 Primetime Emmy Awards and nominated for a total of 22 Emmys, West world is a sophistica­ted, highly- imaginativ­e drama series that elevates the concept of adventure and thrill-seeking to a new and ultimately dangerous level. In the futuristic fantasy park known as Westworld, a group of android hosts deviate from their programmer­s’ carefully planned scripts in a disturbing pattern of aberrant behavior that culminates in a violent wholesale rebellion by the end of Season 1.

In Season 2, the fruits of that uprising, and a series of questions about many of the hosts and humans who co-exist and clash in Westworld and beyond, will be revealed.

With returning cast members including Evan Rachel Wood, Thandie Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright and James Marsden, Westworld was inspired by the 1973 motion picture written and directed by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park), and was created for television by executive producers Jonathan Nolan (Interstell­ar, The Dark Knight) and Lisa Joy (Pushing Daisies, Burn Notice). Season 2’s executive producers also include J.J. Abrams, Roberto Patino, Athena Wickham, Richard J. Lewis and Ben Stephenson.
