Season One: The Maze

What Season 1 of Westworld

Delos Inc. runs six theme parks, and Westworld is the most popular. There, the hosts, androids programmed to fulfill the wishes of visitors, recreate the Wild West. Guests pay to live out their fantasies without consequences. But the hosts' routines begin to malfunction. As the programmers investigate strange behavior in some newly reprogrammed androids, Bernard and Theresa Cullen suspect the anomaly could spread. Dolores Abernathy, played by Evan Rachel Wood, is at the center of the story. Maeve, Teddy and the Man in Black pursue their own goals, and the park begins to show cracks.

As another day of fantasy plays out in Westworld — a vast, remote park where guests pay top dollar to share wild-west adventures with android "hosts" — top programmer Bernard Lowe alerts park founder Dr. Robert Ford about incidents of aberrant behavior cropping up in some recently re-coded hosts. Meanwhile, in the Westworld town of Sweetwater, a rancher’s daughter named Dolores encounters a gunslinger named Teddy in the street — but their predictable narrative is upended by the appearance of a ruthless Man in Black and, later, by a supporting host’s unscripted encounter with an artifact of the outside world.
