In an interview with the website Entertainment Weekly, producer Jonathan Nolan commented on the difficulties for the third season: “It's an ongoing conversation with our friends at HBO, and for us, given the scope and scale of the show, we're not interested in doing a compromised version. We want the show to be bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, more ambitious – and that takes time. We want to take our time and take as much time as we can to get this right.”
In an interview with NME, Jonathan said they are “not interested in repeating themselves”: “And as for the hosts, their ambition is to learn a little more about the world outside their world. And who are we to stand in the way of that goal?”
“We'd like to clear up the loose ends we left at the end of season two,” continued Jonathan. “We saw each season as a chapter of its own and that questions raised throughout the episodes were comprehensively answered at the end of each season. We wanted each season to be satisfying the way a movie franchise is satisfying every movie. We want you, the viewer, to be excited to be back after 18 months.”
On July 20, 2019, the first trailer for the third season was released. Now, the premiere date has arrived and we can see the new world that appeared in the trailer: in the middle of World War II, Maeve (Thandie Newton) enters the unknown. Meanwhile, in the human world, Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and other hosts who have escaped from "Westworld" - the one shown at the end of season two - are hunted by humans.
With the producer's words and the previous season's finale, it's hard for “Westworld” fans not to be excited about what's to come. And, to celebrate the series' return, check out this post with all the previously released information and trailer reviews to find out what's going to happen in the new episodes.

Also returning will be Katja Herbers, but not as the character Emily – now, she will be the host version of Emily; this was confirmed by Lisa Joy in an interview with The Wrap, after the end of the second season.
With the new season and new storylines unfolding, we can also expect new characters. Undoubtedly, the most anticipated is what will be played by Aaron Paul, the well-known Jesse from “Breaking Bad”.
In interview with the magazine NME, Aaron described his character named Caleb as a "worker who owns a robot named George", and that Caleb will give the audience "a taste of what life is like outside the park". In the same interview, the actor said that he is a huge fan of the series and that the new episodes are "more ambitious" than the first and second seasons. “It's insane what they're doing,” he commented on the producers' work.

Another famous addition to the roster is former football player Marshawn Lynch, who played for the Seattle Seahawks.
According to The Undefeated, Marshawn plays the character G, Ash's friend, played by Lena Waithe. Both live in a dystopian Los Angeles, where there is a system of crimes to order, in which it is possible to hire someone to deal drugs, work in dangerous construction fields, among others. The two decide to rob an ATM with the aim of "redistributing justice", according to themselves, but they need a third person to make it happen. That's where Caleb, Aaron Paul's character, comes in.
Caleb then ends up meeting Dolores - who left her world at the end of season two with a mission to destroy humanity. Is this dystopian Los Angeles, then, the real world? Or just another park?
The new World 2ch2b

In the episodes of the second season, it was announced that there are four parks, so, as we know of only three, the indication is that the fourth should be introduced in this new season.
In 2019, a Reddit pointed to discovering a URL related to the series: discoverwarworld.com. The site is ed by MarkMonitor Inc. the same company that owns the copyrights of other official websites connected to “Westworld”, such as “discoverwestworld.com” and “discovershogun.com”.
But what is the War World, or World of War, in free translation? One of the trailers shows Maeve and other characters running through a destroyed city in the context of World War II, showing flags and other decorations with the Nazi symbol.
Is this then the new world: one in which World War II is raging and they will have to defeat the Nazis? Perhaps Hitler himself is a host? Or will the new world retain the first and second world wars, including, who knows, a hypothetical third?
Will William become a host? 4z736
A doubt from the second season will be resolved in the third: is William a host or a human? As per the scene after the credits, fans were left with doubts about William's true identity if he was able to successfully copy his human consciousness into a host body.
One of the trailers for Season XNUMX featured a quote from Meave that may hint at the answer: “You turned a young man once, didn't you – unleashed the darkness within him. Whoever he is, he can't save you now.
According to reverse, fans interpreted that Maeve was talking to William.

Aaron Paul will debut in Season XNUMX as Caleb, we already know that. But there is a rumor that Caleb will become a host. And everything indicates that this could happen when he meets Dolores, who arrived in her world with the aim of destroying humanity.
However, Caleb is human. Will Dolores then make him turn into a host to live forever and give him the opportunity to find purpose in his life?
According to the reverse, one of the trailers also gave more details about this transformation: it is possible to see a scene where Caleb appears with a cell device as a phone in which he can choose any timeline in “Westworld”, which would indicate that the world will begin to operate in a different way than it was originally developed.

Will Charlotte be back? q58x
At the end of the second season, Charlotte (Tessa Thompson) was killed by Dolores, who stole Charlotte's identity to escape Westworld. However, one of the trailers for season three showed actress Tessa Thompson, so that could mean that Charlotte will be back in the new episodes - or that it's just a flashback.
Incite: what it is and its role in “Westworld” i4n5b
Following in the same vein as websites related to Westworld, the Indiewire noticed another that may give indications about the third season. With the name Incite, the new site raised even more theories, and, according to the YouTube channel ThinkStory, the address is about a data company that should be the main villain of the new season.
As? We don `t know yet. But there's something dangerous about Incite's founder, played by Vincent Cassel - he appears in one of the trailers making a deal with Maeve and has been named as one of the fans on Reddit to be Caleb's prime target.
According to this same Reddit fan, you can hear Dolores telling Caleb that "this could be your chance to get revenge on the man who stole your future." Is that Caleb's goal in the new season of Westworld?
Will there be a crossover with “Game of Thrones”? 3l6512
Since the end of HBO's biggest series, there has been a rumor about a possible crossover between "game of Thrones” and “Westworld”. As? It doesn't seem to make sense when we try to combine medieval fantasy with dragons and witches with a sci-fi series that mixes robots, wild west and now a World War II setting.
But considering that both have become two of HBO's most famous series in recent years, it would be interesting to try to bring some element of "Game of Thrones" to "Westworld." Therefore, the Entertainment Weekly went back and found that the creators of the series, David Benioff e DB Weiss will make a small appearance in the second episode of the new season. This is the closest thing to a crossover that will happen between the two series.
And what will actually happen in the third season of “Westworld”? There are 10 episodes with space for the development of new characters and a new world. We'll start learning more about this storyline this Sunday, starting at 22pm on HBO or the HBO Go app.
