Wild Wild West
After a Super Bowl tease, an elaborate immersive experience, and a twisty online game, HBO has finally premiered the full trailer for Westworld’s mysterious second season. If you’d prefer to take everything at face value (though where’s the fun of that in Westworld?), then go ahead and soak up the stunning visuals, ominous voice-over, and the cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box” we told you was coming back in February.
But if you’re interested in dreaming a little bigger, darling, then we have some tantalizing clues about the series co-created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy here. Let’s break it down by character, shall we?
Maeve: Everyone’s favorite saloon madam eschewed freedom in order to return to the park and find her daughter at the end of last season.
This seems like it may still be her primary mission in Season 2. In the trailer, Simon Quarterman’s Lee Sizemore appears to tell Maeve that the daughter of her flashbacks has been “re-programmed” and is not “real.” This does not deter Maeve one bit, and it’s possible that the search for her daughter is what brings her to one of the park’s newly-revealed attractions: a Japanese fantasy called “Shogun World.”
It’s doubtful Maeve will find exactly what she’s looking for; elsewhere in the trailer, we see her drawn away from a potential pursuit of her daughter and into whatever kind of vengeful liberation plan Dolores has cooking. Maeve does not look entirely comfortable with Dolores’s blood-soaked revolution.

Logan and William: If you’ve been following the promotion for Season 2 closely, then you already know that Ben Barnes as Logan and Jimmi Simpson as William were slated to return. We’ll see, via flashback, how William went from the wide-eyed innocent of the past to the ruthless Ed Harris version we meet in the present. From the trailer, it looks like Logan and William will spend at least some of that story line still at war with each other over what happened in the park .
