We still have a long wait until
HBO begins airing the third season of their existentialist sci-fi hit
Westworld, and after the explosive events in the Season 2 finally it's safe to say that people have a lot of questions. And with the announcement that fan-favorite
Breaking Bad actor
Aaron Paulhas joined the show, those questions have only amplified.
The first trailer for Westworld Season 3 teased Paul's new character, who seemingly has a major run in with Dolores early in the episodes. Now series co-creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan is finally opening up on what fans can expect for the new episodes, including new details for Paul's mysterious role, a construction worker in Los Angeles named Caleb.
"Aaron’s character will challenge Dolores’ notions about the nature of humanity,” Nolan said to
Entertainment Weekly.
“He’s the type of person who doesn’t get to go to Westworld."
"We’re looking at the aftermath of the massacre in the park,” Joy added.
“After all they went through to get out of the park, Dolores finally got what she wanted, so we wanted to see how she interacts with the world and what her plan is. That’s a part of the story we were excited to tell."
The new season will be more upfront and linear and won't play around with a huge time jump, the showrunners explained.
"This is season is a little less of a guessing game and more of an experience with the hosts finally getting to meet their makers," Nolan explained.
Dolores emerges to figure out what happened to the real West. And the answer is: We paved the thing over, and civilization eventually caught up with all those people who were running away from it."
There's no release date revealed yet for
Westworld Season 3, but it's likely that it will premiere sometime in 2020.
Perhaps we'll learn more this weekend during San Diego Comic-Con.
