We are so very close to returning to Westworld, which premieres on April 22. HBO just released the very first new images and they are as tantalizing as they are gorgeous.

Some include interesting new developments that hint at where Season 2's plot will go:

But something we haven't seen much of yet is evidence that Maeve goes back to Westworld. Presuming this isn't a flashback, we'll see her in the new host-ruled park again.

Talulah Riley had a pretty minimal role in Season 1 as the cheerful host who greeted guests during the flashback scenes. But Deadline reported that she would be taking on a bigger, lead role in Season 2: "She will prove to be one of the last faces many guests will ever see."

The relationship between Dolores and Teddy is definitely about to take an interesting turn.

And here's a look at the rest, which include new and returning cast members (who are confirmed not dead):
