Westworld Season 3 to Premiere in March on Hotstar in India, HBO Reveals

HBO has set a March 15 premiere date for the third season of the imaginative and mind-boggling sci-fi series featuring husband-wife duo Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. This means that the show will begin on March 16 on Hotstar in India. Gadgets 360 have reached out to Star World to inquire when Westworld World 3 airs on TV in India. We will update this piece when we hear back. A release in March 2020 approaches a two-year gap - 21 months, if we're being precise - for Westworld, which is closed from June 2018. There was a 16-month gap between seasons 1 and 2.

The newly-announced March air date for Westworld Season 3 fits the educated guess - spring 2020 - we made in April last year when HBO simply stated that the Emmy-winning series would return this year. That's because HBO is aiming for the 2020 Emmys, whose eligibility cut-off is May 31. TV shows should air at least half of their season before that deadline. For Westworld, season 3 has four of its total eight episodes. This is why the new seasons - subtitled "The New World" - is, at the very least, both having 10 episodes of epigones in the previous season.

HBO revealed the release date of Westworld Season 3 in a video (above) on Sunday, which highlights the timing behind the series' fictional events while tying in some real-world events. According to one statement all the time: "We are in the midst of war. Nobody knows if it has happened yet, or that it has already been lost. For the most part, humanity has been a pathetic little strip of thugs stumbling from one catastrophe to the next. Our history kills, like the roofs of a lunatic. But we have changed that. For the first time, there is a writer in history: a system. And until recently, the system was working. But there is someone whom we have not kept account of. you."

The timeline includes Hong Kong's protest (real-life) on the fugitive criminal amendment bill that began in June 2019, and mentions the 45th US President's impeachment - Donald Trump, but was not dropped in December 2019. Within the narrative, the ecological collapse in Indonesia in May 2020, the assassination of the US president in Argentina in December 2024, the thermonuclear event in France in October 2025, the start of a second Russian civil war in February 2037, the April 2039 Westworld system initiation, and February 2058 "Important Event".

In India, Westworld Season 3 premiered on March 16 on Hotstar. The release date has not yet been revealed on Star World.
