Westworld S2 ends Monday
THE 2nd season of the critically acclaimed HBO drama series Westworld will culminate with Episode 10, titled “The Passenger,” streaming same time as the US on June 25 at 9 a.m. on HBO GO and premiering on HBO with a same day prime time encore at 10 p.m. The season finale will boast the longest runtime for the series, clocking in a one-and-a-half-hour feature-length episode. The show is set in a futuristic fantasy park known as Westworld where a group of android “hosts” deviate from their programmers’ carefully planned scripts in a disturbing pattern of aberrant behavior that culminates in a violent wholesale rebellion by the end of Season 1. In Season 2, the fruits of that uprising, and a series of questions about many of the hosts and humans who co-exist and clash in Westworld and beyond, will be revealed.
