Thandie Newton has been pictured filming Westworld season three in Spain, but what could the location mean for the show’s narrative?

HBO released the first trailer for the show’s third season ahead of the Game Of Thrones finale, which featured newcomers Aaron Paul, Master Of None’s Lena Waithe and Kid Cudi.

While Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) made a late appearance in the trailer, Thandie Newton’s character Maeve was nowhere to be seen in the sci-fi city location – with recent pictures from filming perhaps explaining why.

The actress, 46, was seen filming in the rustic medieval town of Besalu in Catalonia, Spain, for the third season, possibly indicating the season will be jumping between multiple locations.

She’s also seen, much like Dolores, sporting an entirely new look, which looks considerably different from her outfits in the first two seasons.



It’s possible this is an entirely new Westworld park too, with the outfits having a particularly 1930s wartime feel in comparison to the wild west and samurai parks we’ve seen prior.

At the end of season two, it appeared Maeve was killed while saving her daughter who ventured to the Valley Beyond. At the end of the confrontation with Clementine’s devastating virus, however, techs were seen attempting to salvage hosts from the wreckage.

So has Maeve been reborn into an entirely new world? And will she still retain the advanced consciousness which allowed her to conduct an uprising to begin with?

Vincent Cassel, known for roles in Black Swan and La Haine, has also been cast in the show’s third season, and is believed to be playing a villain.

You can catch the trailer for the third season below.
