15 Questions We Need Answering About 2016's Most Anticipated TV Shows

2. Is This HBO's New Game Of Thrones? - Westworld

Most Anticipated TV Questions
HBO

With Game of Thrones nearing its endgame, and few other drama series currently on air right now, HBO is in need of a new tentpole series. The big hope, in terms of 2016 and potentially going beyond this year and the end of Thrones, is Westworld.

It's the cable channel's biggest show of the year outside of GoT, and the one that has had the most money and the most hype. Based on the film of the same name, it's going to be a big series with and about big ideas; a futuristic theme park staffed by robots, where all of your desires can be realised, until something goes drastically wrong.

It sounds great, and looks it too, with lush landscapes and a stellar cast. This has long been top of my most-anticipated series list for 2016, and that's probably doubly so for HBO execs. Can it live up to the hype, and be at least a great TV series, and maybe even the Next Big Thing?
