A new trailer for Westworld Season 2 has been released and it gives us a hint of what avenging androids Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Maeve (Thandie Newton) have in store as the drama enters Samurai-themed park ShogunWorld.
Westworld season 2 premieres on 23 April on Sky Atlantic.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter last year, showrunners Jonah Nolan and Lisa Joy spoke about why they had included a shogun style park in the new season.
"The reason we went with the shogun, Imperial Japanese motif for that world is in large part because of the beautiful relationship you had between the golden age Westerns and the golden age samurai films," said Nolan.
"As soon as Akira Kurosawa would make a film, it would get remade with cowboys. The idea that those stories worked in two very distinct genres and languages, and the relationship between those genres, to me was irresistible as an homage to how Kurosawa was responsible for some of the greatest Westerns of all time."
"It's wonderful to work with actors we haven't worked with before," said Joy. "This allows us a lot of access to Asian actors and the Asian community, which is very important to me as part-Asian myself."
The Hollywood Reporter also said that there are at least four other additional parks beyond Westworld and Shogun World.
