Westworld is expected to return to HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK in the first half of 2020.
The revamped series will now take place largely outside of the show's Wild West park, with characters like Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) stepping out in the real world following the events of season two's finale.
