With Game of Thrones coming to its end, HBO - like every other network - are looking for its replacement. And if Season 1 is anything to go by, then they might have already found it with Westworld, the sci-fi Western created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy.

The first season, which aired back in 2016, had all the hallmarks of a HBO hit: a starry cast, high production values, grey morals, sex, violence, and spawned a huge number of fan theories (many of which turned out to be correct).

The show is already big, but Season 2 should see the audience reach new levels. It'll bring back the likes of Dolores and the Man in Black, explore new worlds, and hopefully take its storytelling beyond the fan theory setup too.

Which TV shows will you be watching instead of Game of Thrones this year? Let us know down in the comments.
