The Uncertain Fates of 9 Westworld Characters Have Been Revealed For Season 2

Now that we know William is the younger version of the Man in Black, our experience watching him has certainly changed. According to EW, we're going to "explore the early days of the park and discover how he gained so much influence over Delos Incorporated."

As you may recall, the Man in Black is hungry for some real thrills in Westworld and will stop at nothing to get them. It seems he's finally got his wish with Dolores's turn as the evil villain Wyatt. Harris hinted that "he gets a bit of damage done to him, that's for sure."

It truly seems like Elsie is a goner in season one, but we haven't actually seen the last of her. According to creator Lisa Joy, she'll finally get to "experience Westworld as [a guest] and not in the managerial halls."

Ashley is in a similar position as Elsie: he's getting to experience Westworld firsthand. Before you get too excited, Joy says, "I'm not sure they're enjoying their experience." Uh-oh.

If you remember correctly, Clementine was "lobotomized" and put into storage in the first season, but then unexpectedly returned as everything descended into chaos. Apparently, she's reverted to a previous version of her character, but her recent operation has irrevocably changed her. She's going to be a wild card in season two.

Remember how Maeve is running amok in the Delos laboratories at the end of season one (and in that harrowing season two trailer)? Well, her first order of business is to take Lee, the head writer, hostage. "He's found himself in the most uncomfortable position he can possibly be in," actor Simon Quarterman says. "These hosts have always been props to his stories, and now it's like he's become a player in one of his own stories."

Charlotte is a pretty chilly but badass corporate bigwig in season one, but now she's lost all her control. "She is back and causes trouble," Lisa Joy said. "She went from this controlled person playing this chess game with Ford. He takes out her king and queen in one fell swoop. Now she's left at the mercy of the hosts like everyone else."

Peter was previously tucked away in storage, and then nearly smuggled out by corporate queen Charlotte. Now, he's an "important asset" and someone Dolores is very interested in protecting.

Yes, Dr. Ford is dead as a doornail, but don't forget that half of the story is taking place far in the past. We're going to see a younger version of Ford in season two, played by another actor.
