HBO has been teasing us about the second season of Westworld since February, but now the network has finally decided to give the audience a real look into the new episodes of their hit sci-fi series.

First of all, the trailer contains an amazing orchestral cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box,” done by Ramin Djawadi. In addition, it looks like we are about to have a better look at Westworld’s sister park Shogunworld in the season two, as well as the outside world.

According to the trailer, season two of Westworld is continuing where the first one ended, so there might be some answers in store. Or more questions, who knows. We will find out when the first episode, “Journey into Night”, premieres on HBO on April 22, 2018. Until then, have a look at the trailer below.

Also, if you enjoyed the Ramin Djawadi’s version of “Heart-Shaped Box,” you can listen to it below.

Based on the 1973 film of the same name, HBO’s Westworld premiered on October 2, 2016, and was an immediate hit, giving the network its highest rating since the first season of True Detective in 2014. The critics were also full of praise for the show, especially its visuals, story, and cast that includes Evan Rachel Wood, Anthony Hopkins, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Luke Hemsworth, Sidse Babett Knudsen, and Simon Quarterman. In November 2016, before the season one of the show even concluded, HBO decided to give Westworld a 10-episodes, season two order.
