Warning: Spoilers ahead for the latest episode of "Westworld."
HBO's "Westworld" takes place over the course of at least 37 or so years. While fans believe they've discovered the exact year in the future we're seeing (2052), HBO hasn't made anything official yet.
But even without an exact year, audiences are able to deduce the approximate placement of events based on context clues and blatant exposition between Ford and other characters on the first season.
To help "Westworld" fans better understand the events that have led up to the current season, INSIDER has put together a chronological timeline.
The events are marked to indicate whether the scene was featured on season one or season two (either through expository dialogue or in a flashback/flash forward). Since this is not an official HBO-issued timeline, know that some events (or their placement) are subject to change based on new episode revelations.
We'll update this timeline and the approximate year guesses as the second season progresses.
Thanks to the new flashbacks shown on season two with Logan Delos and Arnold, we have a better understanding of the way Westworld first came to exist and how William was drawn into the investment.
As we noted above, it's possible certain placements of events aren't in official order or not entirely correct in their description (since names like Bernard and Arnold might become interchangeable). But as more is revealed, we'll adapt and update the timeline.
