15 New Upcoming HBO Series To Be Excited About
1. Westworld
HBO's next Game of Thrones?
There's not an immediate connection between the two, with one set in the medieval past and the other in a high-tech future, but that's the level of expectation being placed on HBO's forthcoming series. Of all their upcoming shows, Westworld is the one they're really looking to hang their (cowboy) hat on as the tentpole series, and with good reason.
Despite some delays and script setbacks, the series sounds incredibly exciting. Based on the 1973 film of the same name, Westworld takes place at a futuristic theme park where all of humanity's dreams are realised, staffed by robots and featuring robotic gunslingers, cowboys, and even prostitutes.
Described as a dark odyssey "set at the intersection of the near future and the reimagined past," Westworld comes from Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and Bad Robot, and has a cast including Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, and Evan Rachel Wood. If it can live up to the hype, then this could be another massive success for HBO.
