HBO announces Westworld season 3 release date – and it's coming earlier than expected
Westworld was thought to return this April
After what feels like an eternity of waiting, Westworld season 3 finally has a release date. The HBO show is returning on Sunday, March 15 – so get that in the diary now! In the UK, you can watch Westworld season 3 on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV on March 16.
That release date's a little earlier than what we were expecting. With Game of Thrones having concluded last year and Westworld season 2 having debuted in April, season 3 was expected to release in April.
We know surprisingly little about Westworld season 3, and that's despite there being three trailers already available to watch. There's also a new teaser, which debuted alongside the release date announcement, though it features no actual footage from the show.
The majority of the main cast are returning – including Evan Rachel Wood (Dolores), Thandie Newton (Maeve), Ed Harris (The Man in Black), Jeffrey Wright (Bernard), and Tessa Thompson – plus a couple of high profile newcomers, namely Aaron Paul, Vincent Cassel, and Lena Waithe.
Westworld season 3 will take us out of the main park, with co-showrunner Jonathan Nolan previously saying: "We’re very excited about where the third season goes. It’s been a long build-up to get outside the park. And we’re incredibly excited about what that looks like and sounds like and what exactly our Hosts discover out there.”
