Westworld Season 2 Is All About "Chaos," Will Dive Into Dr. Ford's Masterplan [SPOILERS]

This post contains Westworld spoilers.

The first season of HBO's acclaimed sci-fi/western Westworld wrapped up last night with a thrilling finale that answered some of our biggest questions. Now, creator Jonathan Nolan and other members of the creative team have revealed, at a high level, what fans can expect from the upcoming Season 2.

"If the first season was defined by control, the second season is defined by chaos," Nolan said during the episode's "Big Moment" segment that followed, according to IGN. "That's part of what we come to understand Ford has been planning all along."

Season 1 wrapped up with some monumental teases for what's to come--so "chaos" being a theme for the next season is no big surprise.

Nolan went on to say that Dr. Ford's motivations will be a major area of focus for Season 2.

"Ford has set in motion what he thinks is a plan. The nature of that plan is something we explore in the second season," he said. "What his intentions are: are they to let Dolores or the other Hosts escape? Are they simply to teach the human guests a lesson?"

Dr. Ford, who is played by Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, apparently died in the Season 1 finale, "The Bicameral Mind," having been shot in the back of the head by Dolores.

Also during the segment, producer JJ Abrams said about Season 2, "What happens at the dawn of consciousness? What happens when you begin to actually wake up?" At the end of Season 1, Dolores and other hosts gain consciousness--and we don't know how it's all going to play out.

Lisa Joy, Westworld's other creator and showrunner, added that "consciousness" might not be the right word. "Is it consciousness? Is it programming? Is it awareness?" she said.

Dolores actress Evan Rachel Wood teased that her character has reached a tipping point.

"If Dolores is the oldest, this girl has seen three lifetimes of pain and trauma," she said. "I would think there would be only so much one can take, whether you're human or not."

Before this, Nolan talked about how Season 2 will also showcase how the hosts are powered and whether or not they need oxygen to survive.

Westworld Season 2 was confirmed earlier this year, at which time HBO said the show's ratings were beating Game of Thrones by some measurements. Season 2 will premiere in late 2017 or 2018.
