Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Westworld" season two, episode four, "Riddle of the Sphinx."
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 this revelation official yet.
But even without an exact year, audiences are able to deduce the approximate placement of events based on context clues and 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) as well as which episode the revelation appeared on.
Since this is not an official HBO-issued timeline, know that some events (or their placement) are subject to change based on new episodes.
We'll update this timeline and the approximate year guesses each week as the second season progresses.
Note: This version of the timeline reflects events from season two, episode four, "Riddle of the Sphinx."
We did not include the scene of Bernard creating a control unit on Ford's orders in the secret facility, since that scene's placement in time is not yet known.
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.
