The new clip, which was released at Comic-Con, opens with a mechanical piano creaking to life as Sammy Davis Jr’s I Gotta Be Me begins to play. “I want to live, not merely survive, and I

won’t give up this dream of life that keeps me alive,” Davis aptly sings, as Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) stands over the body of a dead tiger. In a series of quick cuts, Maeve (Thandie Newton)

stands side-by-side with Lee Sizemore (Simon Quarterman), the park’s head of narrative, amid a sea of corpses. Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) runs on horseback, shooting with abandon into a

crowd of guests, before Bernard pops up again, this time riding in a car with humans. The trailer closes on the Man in Black’s (Ed Harris) bloodied and smiling face. WHEN IS WESTWORLD SEASON

2 RELEASED? The hit series will return sometime in 2018, more than a year after it was last on screens. Creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have said that HBO, which airs the show in the

US, has encouraged them “to take the time and resources that we need”. “We wanted to in the second season spend some more time writing, then switch gears into production, then cut,” Nolan

told Variety.  “So we’re not going to follow the annual year-on-year tradition of television. Television’s changing. And the ambition of the project is such that we’re going to take our time

to get the second season right.” At Comic-Con the husband-and-wife team revealed that filming on the new season began a week ago. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN WESTWORLD SEASON 2? Joy has said that

the new season is “looking very ambitious”. “There’s some surprises and bits of it that you won’t see coming. I’m having fun,” she told Variety. Nolan has teased: “If the first season was

defined by control, the second season is defined by chaos. “Ford has set in motion what he thinks is a plan. The nature of that plan is something we explore in the second season. What his

intentions are: are they to let Dolores or the other Hosts escape? Are they simply to teach the human guests a lesson?” Executive producer JJ Abrams has called the next instalment “the dawn

of consciousness”. “What happens when you begin to actually wake up?” he added. Nolan has already confirmed that Maeve’s decision to get off the train in the season one finale was her first

act of freewill. As well as documenting the Hosts’ uprising, season two will also delve into the history of the robots. “Their construction and their power source is something we're

really going to get into... they're closer to biological than they are to mechanical,” Nolan said. After Maeve caught a glimpse of Samurai World in the season one finale, expect the

Hosts to venture out into other parks. "I would imagine that at least one, ultimately, gets a bigger look at the world,” Joy said. “Who and when, I'm not quite sure yet."

However Ed Harris, who plays the Man in Black, has downplayed rumours that he could be the one to take viewers into the new world. “It’s ‘Man in Black,’ not ‘Man in a Samurai suit,’” he

joked. “Samurais don’t wear hats.”
