HBO's "Westworld 2" is getting ready for the world, as its first trailer has been released during the Super Bowl games in the United States.

The new trailer cleverly begins like a commercial complete with a romanticized narration and wide landscape shots of the North American vistas. The theme and initial warmth of the trailer suddenly turn dark after the narrator reveals that it is a trailer for "Westworld 2" in which the vistas shown earlier were just lies, complete with synthetic bulls and other science fiction (sci-fi) fake-reality tropes.

It can be surmised from the season 2 trailer that the show will pick up where the first season left off, in which the hosts of Westworld are not happy with what they discovered. As such, they now seem to have chosen a path of anarchy and they will try to destroy and burn down Westworld to the ground in order to build a new home for themselves.

It is not clear whether "Westworld" season 2 will also adopt a nonlinear storytelling as with the first season in which the lines between reality and dreams are blurred, but fans can surely expect that the second season will be as puzzling as the first one. New things are also ripe for exploration for the showrunners, and it is not too far-fetched a notion that the second season might also utilize different timelines as exposition.

For those unfamiliar, "Westworld" is a drama series from HBO that explores the idea of a robot takeover in a contained community. The show is basically about the artificial intelligence (AI) hosts and caretakers of an amusement park for rich people who have begun having their own sentient thoughts and started revolting against human beings. This time around, it seems that Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) wants to take over Westworld after discovering that her life was just a lie.

More will be found out once "Westworld" season 2 premieres on HBO on Apr. 22.
