The second season of Westworld will be simulcast in the UK.

A trailer for the forthcoming run dropped during the Super Bowl on Sunday night (February 4), alongside the revelation that the long-awaited second helping would premiere on April 22 on HBO in the US.

And now, it seems UK viewers will get an equal look at those violent delights as Westworld gets the Game of Thrones treatment, airing at the same time on Sky Atlantic over here in the UK.

It's not the first time this has happened either, as the season one finale was also simulcast.

Production on Westworld's second season wrapped last month.

Season one debuted in October 2016, meaning the second season will come exactly a year-and-a-half after the first.

It's an impressive feat, given that a delay between seasons was announced before production on season two even began and filming for the second series has encountered a whole host of problems since then – including a script change after Redditors guessed the intended plot for season two, forcing Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy into rewrites.

Despite this and the several other challenges filming has since faced – including wildfires – Evan Rachel Wood (who plays Dolores) earlier confirmed season two will land on HBO this spring, and she wasn't wrong.

The April release date will put Westworld out at the same time as the equally highly-anticipated second season of The Handmaid's Tale, which returns to Hulu with a double bill on April 25.

However, Channel 4 didn't air the first season in the UK until the show had wrapped in the US, so here's hoping it will follow Westworld's lead and pick up the pace in time for season two.

Bring on all the good TV!

Westworld will return to HBO in the US on April 22 and will be simulcast on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
