== Summary ==
{{Quote
|We don’t like to endlessly build mystery; we like to settle our debts by the end of the season. We want to feel like the show is rocketing ahead. The first season was a journey inward; this is a journey outward. It’s a search for what else is in the park, and what else is beyond the park
|Jonathan Nolan
}}Casey Bloys, President of HBO's programming, said that season 2 was "exciting, mysterious and as fun as season 1. And completely original, as well."<ref>[http://www.ew.com/article/2016/11/14/westworld-season-2 Entertainment Weekly]</ref>

** [[Lisa Joy]] made directorial debut with the fourth episode of the season, "[[The Riddle of the Sphinx]]", which is co-written by [[Jonathan Nolan]]<ref>http://www.tvline.com/2017/09/17/westworld-season-2-spoilers-hbo-video-interview/</ref>.
** There is a "lot of flies" in the numerous parks.

{{quote
|Well, the flies were always the canary in the coal mine of where the story was going, because they were the one not-programmed creature in the park. So that tiny little slap that Dolores did at the beginning of the season was a harbinger of things to come. Now, in Season 2, now that the gloves are off, we’re gonna see a lot of flies — and they’re not necessarily gonna be actual flies.

*Some of [[Season Two|season two]], "before the mayhem starts",<ref>http://tvline.com/2016/12/12/westworld-season-2-spoilers-guest-experience-ticket-price/</ref> was spent looking at how the experience would feel for a contemporary guest going into the park.
*At PaleyFest 2017, Entertainment Weekly reported:

{{Quote
|Last we saw everyone, the hosts had risen up to attack the humans. But I'm not so sure we're actually going to see the full slaughter — at least not right away. "You're definitely going to see the aftermath and the effects of what happened," Lisa Joy tells me, to which Jonathan Nolan adds: "We are definitely not picking up right where we left off."<ref>http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/31/spoiler-room-westworld-greys-anatomy-once-upon-time/</ref>
|From Entertainment Weekly 
}}
*Multiple new parks were introduced in the second season: [[The Raj]], a colonial-Indian themed park under the control of the British Crown; and [[Shōgunworld]], a Delos park themed around the Edo period in Japan, c. 1603 to 1868.
