Watch This Before Westworld Season 3 Starts

What can we expect when we return to the show's mesmerizing, robot-filled universe? Watch on as we round up all the information we could find about what lies in store for us in season three of Westworld.

After a seemingly interminable 21-month hiatus, Westworld's third season will finally premiere on HBO on March 15, 2020. The series announced its return date via a perplexing tweet in January of 2020, which was accompanied by a video outlining the timeline of the "Divergence." The Divergence began in 2019 with some events that have already happened in the real world, hinting that Westworld's third season may wind up hitting uncomfortably close to home.

The video then goes on to catalog points in the "Divergence" that haven't happened yet, ending with the most recent "Divergence," in 2058, as the voiceover worries that there may be someone they haven't accounted for. While it's easy to assume that the 2058 incident refers to the Host uprising at the end of season 2, that event actually takes place in 2052, according to security footage of Maeve's escape at the end of season one. This raises the question of just what occurs six years later, and to whom exactly the video is referring.

While a number of familiar faces are returning for season three, the end of season two marked a definitive farewell for several others. Anthony Hopkins' park creator Robert Ford has been dead since the end of season one, and although he continued to appear regularly in flashbacks and visions, co-creator Lisa Joy confirmed that he's now gone for good.

Meanwhile, Jimmi Simpson's character, William, will still be very much alive in season three, but will be portrayed exclusively by Ed Harris, as Simpson revealed at TCA that he hasn't been asked to return. As for Shannon Woodward's determined truth-seeker Elsie, she was tragically murdered at the end of season two, and showrunner Jonathan Nolan has confirmed that for now, at least, Elsie is truly gone. Do not use a short description for this video. Instead, have the full intro slide text power the script's intro. Make sure you watch this before Westworld Season 3 starts!
