Air Date: October 2

HBO's big new series, which they're hoping will be the Next Big Thing.

With the end in sight for Game of Thrones, HBO is looking for its next tentpole series, and the one major candidate right now is Westworld. Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and based on the 1973 movie of the same name, it's a hugely ambitious series "...about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin."

Set at the titular futuristic theme park, it'll bring to life a world staffed by robots where humans can fulfil their deepest, darkest, and weirdest desires, until something goes horribly wrong. The impressive cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Evan Rachel Wood, and Ed Harris, and the show itself looks fantastic. If HBO have indeed pulled this off, then we could be looking at one of the best shows of the year, and a massive series going forward.
