Westworld Season 2: 13 Major Plot Reveals From The New Trailer

12. Young William Is Back

In the immediate aftermath of Season 1, Jimmi Simpson said he wouldn't be returning for Season 2. However, just a couple of months ago the actor let slip that his version of William would be returning, and now we've got a proper sight of him (two, in fact) courtesy of the new trailer.

It's in keeping with the multiple temporalities that kept the first season twisting and turning, and means we'll be seeing more of just how William became so corrupted that he turned into the villainous Man in Black (which started at the end of S1).

It looks as though Dolores is paying him a visit in the image below, but the one above suggests the opposite is happening on that occasion. Of course, he'll be free to go and do pretty much whatever he pleases in the park, so it'll be interesting (and maybe a little awful) to see what happens between him and Dolores this year. The two characters remain linked, that much is clear, and their past is intrinsically woven into the future/present with the Man in Black.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
