Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

“When you’ve been in the dark this long enough, you begin to see,“ says Dolores in the trailer for next week's Westworld episode which will reveal some huge secrets to unsuspecting human characters.

Next week will see us jump forward in time to Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson), Ashley Stubbs (Liam Hemsworth) and other members of Q.A. discovering multiple host versions of Arnold (Jeffrey Wright) - a revelation to these characters who have only known him as Bernard Lowe.

More worryingly is Dolores' voiceover. “You made us in your image,” she can be heard saying. “Created us to look like you, think like you, bleed like you - do you really think I'd let that continue?” She is clearly talking to a human character who is most likely in mortal danger.

One other exciting aspect of the trailer is the proof that the surprise dropped at the climax of the most recent episode was a legitimate one: Robert Ford is back, albeit as part of the park's code influencing events from beyond the grave. Still, this means Anthony Hopkins is back in Westworld for the time being, and he can be heard here telling Bernard/Arnold/whichever iteration of the character we're watching: 'What is about to happen will not be your fault."

Whatever happens, violence will continue with Dolores' army, including Clementine (Angela Sarafyan) and a newly-evil Teddy (James Marsden_ - glimpsed dressed in security gear - ramping up their search for their leader's father (Louis Herthum) which will likely lead them into the path of Charlotte and company.

Westworld season 2 debuts on HBO in the US and through Sky Atlantic and NOWTV in the UK.
