Westworld, developed by Jonathan Nolan & Lisa Joy, is tracking as one of HBO’s biggest first-season drama series ever. Season-to-date, it is averaging a gross audience of 11.7 million viewers, outperforming the first season of Game of Thrones and on par or slightly below with Season 1 of True Detective.

“We’re thrilled that the saga of Westworld will continue for another season,” said Nolan and Lisa Joy. “During the lengthy journey to the screen, our incredibly talented actors, staff and crew became a family, and we look forward to the privilege of continuing this experience with them. We’re also thankful to all of our amazing partners at HBO, WBTV, and Bad Robot for their steadfast support, imagination and ambition. We simply couldn’t have made this show anywhere else.”

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Given the length of production for the first season, when do you think Westworld will return?

Casey Bloys: My suspicion is sometime in 2018 because of how big the world is and what goes into shooting it. So I don’t have a date exactly – they’re going to have to map it out and write the scripts – but my guess is sometime in ‘18.

As said in the main thread: yesssss

Awesome news! But I have no idea where the show goes after this season.

 

[Speevy]

Doesn't mean anything to me.

 

[Bay Maximus]

Glad to hear it. A really awesome show so far.

 

[Bladenic]

Insecure and Divorce were renewed too.

 

[shira]

I don't see anything.

 

[Qvoth]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

 

[Einchy]

Game of Thrones starts late, Westworld is taking a year off.

 

[Speevy]

Game of Thrones starts late, Westworld is taking a year off.

With what I've read happens in Game of Thrones' final season, it may be for the best.

 

[geomon]

Best show on television as far as I'm concerned.

 

[tearsintherain]

Only one mediocre episode and 6 absolutely amazing ones, my favorite new show as well. Total top tier quality.

Lots and lots of dicks and titties too. So many dicks.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Great news one of my new fav shows.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Awesome news! But I have no idea where the show goes after this season.

Are you joking? You think they'll resolve all the open threads in three more episodes? I doubt we even get to the Maze until deep in Season 3 or Season 4.

The HBO effect

Yeah the pace is glacial with so many open story threads

 

[More_Badass]

I'm fully expecting the show to reinvent itself each season. No way is it staying confined to the park

 

[Garmonbozia]

Great news, great show.

 

[Geist-]

I'll be honest, I'm like Westworld even more than GoT. I'm gonna be bummed though if they do wait until 2018 to release the next season, but if that's what they have to do to maintain the quality, I can't really blame them.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Clevelandworld for Season 2

Super excited

 

[Santiako]

The maze get solved this season for sure. Next season will be the the hosts infiltrating the real world.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Oh I think it will stay to the park. But what the park looks like season to season? That is a whole other matter. Let's not forget that it is physically quite isolated.

 

[Kickz]

Lots and lots of dicks and titties too. So many dicks.

As someone who is planning to start the series soon, I hope its more tits.

 

[jfkgoblue]

As someone who is planning to start the series soon, I hope its more of the former.

Way more tits than dicks

 

[wenis]

It's a greater show than GoT so well deserved. I hope for bright futures and success for the franchise. Bring on S2

 

[Speevy]

Season 3 is pirateville.

 

[scitek]

Oh I think it will stay to the park. But what the park looks like season to season? That is a whole other matter. Let's not forget that it is physically quite isolated.

The source material had multiple parks, too.

 

[kswiston]

Good news.

That said, GOT season 1 wasn't all that special from a viewership standpoint. It is just one of those rare shows that never stopped growing (most big HBO shows hit their peak in S3-4).

I haven't seen Westworld yet, but hopefully it continues to do well.

 

[Giolon]

My suspicion is sometime in 2018

No, no, no, no, no!

Good, the more dicks the better.

 

[iPaul93]

2018?!?

This doesn't look like anything to me.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Awesome news! But I have no idea where the show goes after this season.

Futureworld, baby!!

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Maybe I should start watching this. People sure are talking about it a lot.

 

[zero_suit]

Same. I'll wait until the season is over and binge watch.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Clevelandworld for Season 2

Spaworld!

 

[User 479360]

It's more interesting as a premise and setting than Game of Thrones. Don't get me wrong: I like and respect GoT, but the Wild West is much more interesting to me.

I've always tried and tried to get into period pieces, but haven't been so lucky. It's been difficult for me to enjoy such fantasy fare -- outside of gaming -- as much as most people.

Lots of people seem to absolutely adore Game of Thrones, and it's obviously a great show. I've seen the first season and read the first book, but the second book was just too deep for me and I got bored. I haven't rushed to see the other seasons, though I did like the first, and it's been years.

I borrowed 2-4 from a friend, but never got watching them.

 

[KHarvey16]

Season 2 is the reveal that all successful HBO shows from the past 20 years are separate parks.

 

[Kickz]

Way more tits than dicks

Good to know.

Carnivale world

[Speevy]

Romeworld please.

 

[Curt Baboon]

Carnivale world

Deadwoodworld.

Spoiler

You have the sets already! Just come in, get Ian McShane to say cocksucker a bunch and you're done!

 

[kevin1025]

Carnivale world

pls

Carnivale needs more love.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Carnivale world

pls

What post? ;_;

 

[molnizzle]

Good to know.

Still a healthy amount of dicks though. More dicks than I've ever seen in a single series!

More titties too now that I think about it. This show has shitload of nudity even by HBO standards.

 

[andythinkpad]

The only thing that matter to me, is Sir Anthony Hopkins coming back?

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Incredible show. So glad to see and hear the praise it's getting.

Dat wait though....

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Doesn't look like anything to me

 

[Link]

The only thing that matter to me, is Sir Anthony Hopkins coming back?

Hard to answer that since there's still three more episodes for the first season.

 

[The Maverick]

The enthusiasm for this show is something else. I'm definitely checking out a couple of episodes thanks to GAF

 

[Speevy]

The only thing that matter to me, is Sir Anthony Hopkins coming back?

He'll be 80. That's tough to say.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

*GoT spoilerish talk*

WHAT!? NO. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS??!?!
