Westworld Season 2 Cast & Character Guide

Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s critically-acclaimed sci-fi series Westworld is finally coming back to HBO for season 2, with plenty of returning characters, and some new cast members as well. Season 2 of Westworld will see the newly-freed hosts explore new horizons – including other parks like Shogun World – while the representatives of Delos Incorporated do their best to take back control.

New additions to the cast include Pacific Rim‘s Rinko Kikuchi and Vikings star Gustaf Skarsgård. With multiple parks now in play, and several different ongoing storylines, keeping track of who’s-who (and who’s playing them) can get a little confusing, so here’s a quick guide to the cast and characters of Westworld season 2. Characters who are new this season are marked with an asterisk*.
