WESTWORLD Might Visit Medieval and Roman Worlds in Season 2

WESTWORLD Might Visit Medieval and Roman Worlds in Season 2

The Man in Black might have been content to spend his whole life playing out his Old West fantasies at the world’s most expensive theme park, but we imagine some folks like a little variety during their robot killing/android orgy vacations. And soon those wealthy patrons of Delos might get a chance to try out some very different places, after the show’s creators hinted at the inclusion of Medieval and Roman worlds in Westworld‘s second season.

In news we came across at Deadline, Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy were asked during a panel at the Vanity Fair Summit about why they didn’t include those two worlds in season one, since they were the other theme parks in the original 1973 film starring Yul Brenner. “We had to save something for Season 2,” answered Nolan.

This tease isn’t surprising, because robots for Samurai World were shown during the bloody season one finale, and Maeve was given a note telling her she could find her “daughter” in “Park 1.” But if the plan is to have as many as four theme parks in total, even if we don’t see all of them next season, it could give us an idea where the series is ultimately heading.

Four theme parks full of killer robots acting of their own accord instead of just one opens up some very exciting possibilities. Could we see a massive army of cowboys, samurai, Roman Legionaries, and knights in armor band together for a fantasy military force come to life? Could humans use their still-tamed robots in those other worlds to invade the Old West park for them?

Any combination of those worlds, united against humans or in opposition with one another, would make for some amazing battles. We bet even the Man in Black would be willing to trade his cowboy hat for a toga so he could watch.

What do you think? Will we see these new worlds this season? What could this mean for the rest of the show? Tell us in the comments below.
