Since the 8th and final season of “Game of Thrones” won’t air until next year, we’ve got another action-packed show to fill in that empty void. “Westworld” is set to return for its 10-episode 2nd season this month.

To those who aren’t familiar with this HBO drama series, “Westworld” is a hybrid of Sci-fi and Western that takes place in Shogun World – the feudal Japan theme park. Thanks to some research, here is a list of fun facts to prep you up for “Westworld” Season 2.

6. Music from the series is composed by Ramin Djawadi, who also worked on the HBO hit-series, “Game of Thrones”.

7. The phrase mentioned multiple times in the series by Dolores Abernathy, “These violent delights have violent ends”, is actually from Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”.

8. Jeffrey Wrights’ characters’ name “Arnold Weber” is an anagram for “Bernard Lowe”, both of which he plays.

9. Everything in “Westworld” is by design and nothing is there by accident. Seemingly unimportant scenes have important Easter eggs in them.

10. There’s a code hidden within the first “Westworld” Season 2 trailer which leads to yet another trailer.

11. There are multiple parks in “Westworld” and Shogun World is the second park. It is a feudal Japan-themed park.
