Watch the New Star-Studded and Terrifying HBO Sci-Fi 'Westworld' on Your Xiaomi

HBO has just released a new Chinese trailer for the highly anticipated new sci-fi drama series Westworld 《西部世界》, and it may just give you nightmares.

The upcoming 10-episode drama series is inspired by the 1973 motion picture of the same name, which was written and directed by Michael Crichton. This version has been executive produced by The Dark Knight screenwriter Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and J.J. Abrams.

The story concerns an amusement park where you enter a fake, robot-filled Western realm and “you can be whoever you want.” It looks like an extended episode of Black Mirror but bleaker and with a much bigger budget. HBO calls the show: “a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the evolution of sin.” 

The huge cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Thandie Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jimmi Simpson, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Ben Barnes, Simon Quarterman, Angela Sarafyan, Luke Hemsworth, and Clifton Collins, Jr.

If you have a set-top box like a Xiaomi Hezi, you’ll be able to watch Westworld on the Tencent app in October. See here for instructions on how to install it and sign up to HBO for as little as 10 kuai a month.
