At long last, the trailer for season 2 was released during the Super Bowl LII. It is eerie and haunting, with a voice-over by Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) accompanied by a piano rendition of Kanye West’s “Runaway”. “But this world is a lie. This world deserves to die,” she narrates, hinting at the host uprising that is to come, and the evolution of their artificial intelligence and sentience.

Jeffrey Wright and Thandie Newton will reprise their roles as Bernard Lowe and Maeve Millay respectively, and Ed Harris returns as the enigmatic Man-in-Black.
