After the show’s pre-linear launch, which garnered three million views, USA had no choice but to lock-in the dramatic-thriller for a second season. The second season will include a minimum of ten episodes, and will air in 2016.
If you haven’t watched the pilot by now, an atomic wedgie will be FedEx’ed to you doorstep.
“We knew from the moment we read Sam Esmail’s provocative script, and witnessed the brilliant performances of Rami Malek and Christian Slater, that Mr. Robot is a stand-out series that is unlike anything currently on television,” said USA Network President Chris McCumber. “The overwhelmingly positive fan reactions to the pilot and the broad sampling of it, reaffirms our confidence in the series, and we’re excited to see where this timely drama will take us for season two.”
“Sam Esmail has captured and distilled our ongoing cultural conversation about identity, privacy, value and self-worth,” adds Jeff Wachtel, President and Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “We are all talking about the central themes of Mr. Robot – Sam has just done it in a completely original and uniquely compelling way.”
Watch the pilot right now! Or you can wait until 10pm ET/PT for the premiere.
