It might be late in the game; however, all the new actors have recurring roles in the new season. Let’s take a look at who the actors are and what their roles will be in Westworld Season 2.

Get To Know The 5 New Recurring Stars Added To Westworld Season 2
Thanks to a new scoop from Entertainment Weekly, we know the names and characters of 5 new characters in Westworld Season 2. Sadly, there isn’t a lot of information to go on; however, it’s a lot more than we know before. First up, we have newcomer Zahn McClarnon, whose mysterious role has finally been revealed.
Zahn McClarnon as Akecheta
Fargo
Season 2 alumni, Zahn McClarnon, will be playing a host named Akecheta in
Westworld
Season 2, and he’s already appeared in a few trailers. We’ve seen him dressed up in Ghost Nation garb, as well as formal attire at a swanky party. For now, his greater role in Season 2 remains a mystery, but we’re glad to have him on board.
Tao Okamoto as Hanaryo
Westworld
adds another character from Shogunworld to the cast, in Tao Okamoto. She’s had roles in
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
and
The Wolverine
, but she will be playing a character named Hanaryo on
Westworld
. We assume she is a host; however, we don’t know for sure. Hopefully, she will have a sizable role in the new season.
Kiki Sukezane as Sakura
The talented Kiki Sukezane will be playing Sakura in Westworld Season 2, but this isn’t her first rodeo. She’s had many roles in films and on TV shows including Heroes Reborn and Netflix’s Lost in Space reboot. She is another Shogunworld character, and as we previously stated, that facet of Season 2 has be shrouded in mystery. Thankfully, we will learn more about the new park and Sukezane’s character in a few weeks’ time.
Martin Sensmeier as Wanahton
Westworld
Season 2 has added one of the stars of the
Magnificent Seven
remake, Martin Sensmeier, as a recurring cast member. He’s actually not new to the cast, since he appeared briefly as a member of Ghost Nation in Season 1. We’re glad he’s back and we can’t wait to see more of him!
Julia Jones as Kohana
Twilight fans might recognize Julia Jones as Leah Clearwater, who first appeared in
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
. She has also appeared in
Longmire
,
Jonah Hex
, and most recently,
Wind River
. Jones will be playing a character named Kohana in
Westworld
Season 2; however, that’s all we know. All in all, each one of the 5 new cast members seem to be tied to either Ghost Nation or Shogunworld. Therefore, we can surmise that Jones will fall into one of those two camps.

Westworld Season 2 will premiere on HBO Sunday, April 22, 2018 9PM/EST
