'Westworld' Season 2 Won't Pick Up Where Finale Left Off

The first season of HBO's "Westworld" ended with an array of android hosts seemingly rising up against their human makers to take over the park. A bloodbath looked imminent.

But when "Westworld" returns for season 2, viewers may not see that battle — at least, not at first.

"We are definitely not picking up right where we left off," co-creator Jonathan Nolan told Entertainment Weekly at the show's recent Paleyfest panel.

Nolan's wife and co-creator Lisa Joy cryptically explained, "You're definitely going to see the aftermath and the effects of what happened."

So, does that mean season 2 will have some kind of time jump — so we see the park days or weeks (or even months or years ... or decades) after that showdown? Season 1 played with different time frames — perhaps "Westworld" will go back in time and explore more of the origins of the park.

Nolan has previously indicated season 2 would illuminate how the park works, so we may get to know more of the hosts — like the ones played by Louis Herthum and Talulah Riley, who were both promoted to series regulars.

"Westworld" season 2 is expected to air sometime in 2018.
