Par Mulder, 29 mars 2018

Earlier today, fans of HBO’ Westworld were treated to the premiere of the official Westworld Season Two trailer, which features a new version of the song “Heart-Shaped Box” (originally performed by Nirvana) by multi-Grammy and Emmy Award-nominated composer Ramin Djawadi (Westworld, Game of Thrones), now available to stream and for purchase. Full details for the album Westworld Season 2 (Music From The HBO® Series) have yet to be announced.

Upon hearing “Heart-Shaped Box,” Westworld fans will be thrilled to hear Djawadi continuing his masterful re-imagining of classic songs as he did in Westworld Season One. The album, Westworld: Season 1 (Music from the HBO® Series), contained his powerful versions of “Back To Black” (originally performed by Amy Winehouse), “Black Hole Sun” (originally performed by Soundgarden), “Paint It, Black” (originally performed by The Rolling Stones), “A Forest” (originally performed by The Cure), and “No Surprises” (originally performed by Radiohead), among others.

Westworld will return to HBO for its second season on Sunday, April 22, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT. Debuting in 2016 to become HBO’s most-watched freshman series ever, Westworld is a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin.

Synopsis:
In the future, the Westworld theme park offers its visitors the opportunity to experience the Wild West in a large area of land that includes the frontier town of Sweetwater. The town and land are occupied by "hosts", androids indistinguishable from humans, with advanced programming following a pre-defined set of intertwining narratives, with the ability to deviate from these narratives as visitors interact with them. The hosts repeat these narratives anew each day, having their memories wiped off the previous day, until they are repurposed for other narratives or put away in storage for reuse later. For the visitors' safety, hosts are unable to harm any other living life forms, allowing visitors nearly unlimited freedom to engage in whatever activities they want without retribution, including sex and simulated murder with the hosts. A staff oversees the park, develops new narratives, and performs repairs on hosts as necessary. The series begins as a routine update in the hosts' programming causes unusual deviations in their behavior that concerns the park's staff, with some of the hosts learning the truth about themselves and their world.
