"Westworld," about an amusement park where
people pay to be immersed in a Wild West experience, returns on
April 22 for its second season on cable channel HBO after a
first season marked by numerous twists and changing time lines.
The "Westworld" residents are not human but are lifelike
synthetic creatures. When their programming went awry in the
first season, they started remembering their treatment by the
visiting humans and rose up against their creators.
Jeffrey Wright, whose character Bernard Lowe is head of the
Westworld Programming Division, warned that plots get more
complicated in the second season.
"This season was much more complex than the first in terms of
being able to understand the narratives and the various
through-lines and storylines. There was a lot of math, a lot of
math that you have to solve when you're doing this, but it's
part of the fun," Wright told Reuters Television at the red
carpet premiere in Los Angeles on Monday.
Evan Rachel Wood, who plays rancher's daughter Dolores Abernathy
and four other characters, said the show seemed tailor-made for
her.
"I really love figuring things out and mysteries, and this show
really is up my alley. I was a huge 'Lost' fan," Wood said. "I'm
still figuring out the show as it's going along because we don't
get to know what happens."
Leonardo Nam, who plays technician Felix Lutz, added: "This one,
every script, I was like 'What's going on? Are you kidding me?'
Amazing."
