'Westworld' Season 2 Trailer: All Bets are Off

Well this was a teaser I was certainly not expecting this early in the process; I mean, this is a show which hasn't even properly finalized its cast for the second season. Still, I can't complain; Westworld was my favourite miniseries of last year, and its second outing, with this tantalizing little snippets, has risen my levels of anticipation to an all-new high.

We see the saloon piano motif, such a prominent part of the first season. And its now drenched with blood. Presumably, not host, but human blood.

We saw Bernard (the magnificent Jeffrey Wright) learning about the very nature of life and death and him being a host last season; this very interesting shot anticipates him going down further this route of discovery, without the guidance of Ford (Anthony Hopkins).

Bodies of hosts and workers at the park alike scattered all over the complex. Can't say I'm excited to see much more of Lee Sizemore (Simon Quaterman) seeing as he was easily the weak link of the past season's ensemble, but since he's acting opposite the fabulous Thandie Newton as the wonderful Maeve Millay, I have high hopes that this'll be a compelling storyline.

We see Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) picking off guests to the park one by one on horseback. Dolores had the most drastic arc of last season, and here it seems like we'll be seeing a very different side to this particular host; it'll be a challenge for Wood, but she seems to be very much at home in the role.

Guess this means Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth) is alive.

Last season we were introduced to the Man in Black (Ed Harris) and how he came to be the Man in Black. This season, with all bets off and the hosts being allowed to kill/harm humans, he's bloodied and bruised, and couldn't be happier about it. I'm really excited to see what Harris and the writers will do with this character.
