"I think it was always that season 1 was going to be this backstory and set up — getting to know the park and characters. I think season 2 is really going to be warp speed. The show might really start in season 2," Wood shared in an interview with IndieWire.
Meanwhile, the season 1 finale of "Westworld" ended by introducing Shogun World. According to executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, followers of "Westworld" can expect previous worlds to return and new ones to come.
"The fun and challenge of this show is that season upon season, we'll only get more ambitious. We will ultimately encounter other worlds. Just when and where remains to be seen," Nolan revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"One of the aspects of the original film that we loved is the idea that this is a place you can go where you can engage in whatever fantasy you want. ... This park contains multitudes. We hope to explore that in the seasons going forward," Joy added.
Given that, fans can also rejoice in the possibility of many more seasons of "Westworld" coming.
"Westworld" season 2 is expected to premiere in 2018 on HBO.
