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.
