Big news! HBO finally gave the world a Westworld season 3 premiere date last night, so you can go ahead and start speculating about what will happen right about now. Will the Raj be back? Or will the other Delos parks finally make an appearance? We won’t find out until March, probably, but here’s everything we do know about season three.

We have a release date!!!

And a trailer! HBO dropped both of them last night. The new season is premiering on March 15.

TBH, this trailer makes little to no sense, but maybe people who are more Westworld diehards than I am can figure out what’s going on here?

The show was officially renewed in May 2018.

“It’s been an extraordinary pleasure to work with the exceptionally talented Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, as well as their gifted cast and crew,” Casey Bloys, president of programming at HBO, said in a statement. “From the inspired storytelling to the incredible visuals, we are so excited to see where the next chapter will take us.”

The show may visit additional parks, or leave them behind entirely for a look at the outside world.

Season two of Westworld has already explored the Raj and Shogun World, but fans know that Delos actually runs a total of six parks. Any of the remaining three parks could show up in season three, but Jonathan Nolan has also hinted that the show won’t stay within park grounds forever. “We weren’t interested in doing Fantasy Island about which crazy guests will come to the park each year,” he told EW in April. “We’re not interested in repeating ourselves. And for the hosts, their ambition is to learn a little more about the world outside their world. Who are we to step in their way?” Lisa Joy also said that the show will “absolutely” touch on the remaining three parks not revealed in season two.

Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood will definitely be back.

Both actresses negotiated contracts to make sure they’ll be paid the same as their male colleagues in season three, which also means they’ll be back for season three. “It’s really exciting,” Thandie said of the negotiations. “It’s unprecedented. It’s — goodness; it shatters so much calcified pain, resentment, frustration. It just shatters it.”

At least part of the season will take place in the “far, far future.”

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lisa Joy said the post-credits sequence in the season finale featuring the Man in Black takes place even farther in the future than the rest of the show, and said that season three would visit this timeline a little bit.

Bernard is definitely not in Westworld anymore.

Jeffrey Wright told Esquire that the finale scene showing Bernard stepping out of his house showed him looking at “something that exists outside the park.” That could be the real world or it could be something else, but if Jeffrey’s to be believed, it’s not the theme park we’ve seen him in for the past two seasons.

The hosts who went through the door probably aren’t coming back.

When asked whether it’s safe to assume that characters like Akecheta are out of the picture in their digital Eden, Jonathan Nolan kind of said yes. “I think that’s on the safer end of things to presume,” he told Entertainment Weekly. But there’s a big story we’re telling here so…yeah.”
