After a two-decade hiatus, HBO is returning to the Super Bowl.

The premium cable network will run an ad for the upcoming second season of its sci-fi western Westworld in Sunday’s game, as first reported by Entertainment Weekly.

The spot, which is directed by Westworld co-creator Jonathan Nolan, will combine scenes from Season 2 with footage shot exclusively for the Super Bowl ad.

Westworld fans have been waiting more than a year for the next season as Nolan and his co-creator, Lisa Joy, decided to write the entire season ahead of production.
