HBO will be returning to Westworld – but it may not be until 2018.

A second season of 10 episodes has been ordered, but because “Westworld is such a big, ambitious show. I don’t know if it will be fall of 2017 or into ’18,” HBO programming president Casey Bloys told The Holllywood Reporter. “That will depend as we get up and running.”

“We’re thrilled that the saga of Westworld will continue for another season,” co-creators/showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy said in a statement. “During the lengthy journey to the screen, our incredibly talented actors, staff and crew became a family, and we look forward to the privilege of continuing this experience with them.  We’re also thankful to all of our amazing partners at HBO, WBTV and Bad Robot for their steadfast support, imagination and ambition. We simply couldn’t have made this show anywhere else.”

There has been no announcement about which cast members will be returning because there are still three episodes of the drama to air in the US.
