As the latest season of Game of Thrones came to an end, HBO began ramping up the advertising for the rest of its upcoming slate. The network put out a teaser about what’s being released in the next year, and it included some brand new footage from the second season of Westworld.
The highly-celebrated series released a teaser for the new season at San Diego Comic-Con earlier this summer, but the HBO promo featured a few shots that weren’t previously included.

One of the most notable shots in the promo sees Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Teddy (James Marsden) riding their horses to the top of a hill. Judging by their clothing, it looks as though this is from the same scene where the robotic couple is chasing down a group of guests.
There’s also an interesting shot in this promo featuring Maeve (Thandie Newton) and Simon (Lee Sizemore). In the original promo, the two characters happen upon the control room to find dozens of people slaughtered, though it isn’t clear who did it. The shot in the new promo shows Maeve threatening Simon, making it possible that she’s behind the massacre. Even if she isn’t, there’s no way she’s taking things easy on one of the men responsible for Delos.
Finally, towards the end of the promo, there’s a shot of some of the Native American characters from one of the narratives. Someone is walking up on a scene where the characters are fighting a bear, and it looks as though they are still sitting in the development stage of the story.
The second season of Westworld is currently filming and is expected to premiere on HBO in the spring.
