‘Westworld’ Season 2 Spoilers: This Fan Might Have Guessed The Release Date

When will HBO release the second season of its sci-fi hit, “Westworld”? Evan Rachel Wood, who stars as Dolores Abernathy in the show, earlier confirmed that it will be sometime in Spring 2018.

Not satisfied with the answer, a Reddit user named EThorns decided to study HBO’s past release date schedules and came up with two possible release dates for the show - April 22 or 29.

The post reads: “According to an HBO press release, the freshman season of Alan Ball’s ‘Here & Now’ debuts on Feb. 11, 2018. Set to run for 10 episodes, which would make it wrap up on April 15. Since Season 2 is set for a spring release, that could peg it to kickoff on the very next week (April 22), or the week after (April 29).”

“The second option is listed, cause the network did something similar this year, when they had an empty spot on April 9, the week after the finale of ‘Big Little Lies’, & the week before the premiere of ‘The Leftovers’ S3. However, in the year before that, there was no break between the finale of ‘Vinyl’ & the S6 premiere of ‘Game of Thrones’, which started right after,” it added.

To make the show eligible for the Emmys, the Reddit user added that “Westworld” Season 2 needs to have aired half a season, or five episodes, by May 31 in order to qualify.

A lot of exciting things are in store for next season, and Wood said that the show still has quite a number of surprises up its sleeves. “I’m still sort of in a dream space,” she told ET. “But it is twice as ambitious as the first season. I didn't think the show could shock me and it continues to do so. It’s going to be everything and more.”

Her co-star, Ed Harris, who plays the Man in Black, confirmed the same sentiment with Collider. “So far it’s definitely intriguing,” he said with a smile. “I don’t understand all that’s going on, but I know what I’m doing.”

“Westworld” Season 2 premieres on HBO in 2018.
