Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Sometimes you need to wait for a network to issue a press release to find out when your favourite show's coming back, sometimes you just need to tweet one of its stars.

Westworld fans have been wondering for some time when the show, which is a long time in production, will return for a second season, and now lead actor Evan Rachel Wood appears to have confirmed it.

"Can you please tell us when Westworld will be returning!? I'm going crazy," a fan wrote, to which she replied: "Spring 2018."

With a more specific announcement from HBO likely forthcoming, this is good news for devout followers of Westworld, given production was halted on it this week.

This was to allow time for apparently key new cast member Zahn McClarnon to recover after sustaining a head injury during a fall at his home, but it seems the incident hasn't knocked the show off schedule.

With Game of Thrones' final season likely not arriving until 2019, Westworld will be one of HBO's biggest draws next year.
