Hacker Series 'Mr Robot' Renewed By USA Network

USA NETWORK recently announced that the new hit series "Mr Robot" starring Christian Slater has been renewed ahead of it's premiere episode last week (June 24).



“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,” said 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.”

MR. ROBOT won over audiences at this year’s South By Southwest Festival in March, winning the coveted audience award in the Episodics category.  The series was also named an official selection of the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival in April.
