HBO also renewed Insecure, the awkward, funny sitcom from creator and star Issa Rae about a young black woman in Los Angeles, and Divorce, the dark comedy starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church as a couple going through an acrimonious split.
HBO announced Monday that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s philosophical sci-fi/western has been renewed for a second season.
Westworld is averaging higher per-episode audiences than hits like Game of Thrones and True Detective averaged at similar points in their first seasons.
Westworld airs Sundays at 9/8c, followed by Divorce at 10/9c and Insecure at 10:30/9:30c.
