'Westworld' Watch Online: How To Live Stream Premiere Of HBO's Next Big Fantasy Series [VIDEO]
The premiere of Westworld is set to air tonight on HBO - find out how to watch the highly anticipated drama series live online.
Westworld has already been touted as "the next Game of Thrones" by various critics, so many people will be watching to see if the mystery series lives up to such lofty comparisons. The series centers on the fictional Westworld theme park, "where guests pay top dollar to share wild-west adventures with android 'hosts'," says HBO.
The series features an all-star cast including Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Robert Ford, the enigmatic creative director behind Westworld, Jeffrey Wright as Bernard Lowe, the park's top programmer, Evan Rachel Wood as Dolores, a rancher's daughter living in Westworld town of Sweetwater, and Ed Harris and Josh Marsden as a pair of gunslingers.
In the premiere episode, Bernard informs Dr. Ford "about incidents of aberrant behavior cropping up in some recently re-coded hosts," according to HBO's press release. Meanwhile, Dolores "encounters a gunslinger named Teddy (James Marsden) in the street - but their predictable narrative is upended by the appearance of a ruthless Man in Black (Ed Harris) and, later, by a supporting host's unscripted encounter with an artifact of the outside world."
The Westworld premiere airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO. If you are not able to watch the premiere on cable television, you can still watch it live alongside everyone else. If you haven't already, subscribe to HBO Go or HBO NOW and go to either site starting at 9/8c. There should be a live stream of the episode at the exact same time as it is airing on HBO itself. HBO Go is an additional service for paying HBO customers while HBO NOW is its own subscription service that costs $15 per month.
