Westworld Rides Again

Expect season three of HBO’s Westworld to premiere here on March 16.

The US cable giant announced today the futuristic hit will return on March 15 and traditionally Sky’s SoHo airs the series the same time as HBO.

It will take over the 3pm and 8.30 Monday slots that HBO’s latest drama series, The Outsider, occupies from today. Expect it to stream the same day on Neon.

New to S3 of Westworld will be Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Vincent Cassel (Black Swan), Lena Waithe (Master of None), Scott Mescudi (How to Make It in America), John Gallagher Jr (The Newsroom), Michael Ealy (Stumptown) and Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy).

“It’s understandable if you forgot Westworld was even still on,” TV Line quips. “The Emmy-winning series hasn’t aired since the Season 2 finale way back in June 2018, meaning it’ll be nearly a two-year drought by the time it returns …

“Judging by the early trailers, Dolores and some of her fellow robots have escaped the Westworld theme park and are out in the real world, where humans and robots coexist in a very different way.”

If you need a refresher on Westworld, Sky Box Sets will screen the first two seasons next month.
