"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," Chris McCumber said in a statement released to the press. "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."

The show follows the life of a certain Elliot (Malek), "a young cyber security engineer by day and a vigilante hacker by night." Events escalate when he met the mysterious leader (Slater) of a hacker organization determined to destroy a big corporation he is paid to protect.

The show also features the acts of Carly Chaikin as Darlene, Portia Doubleday as Angela Moss, Martin Wallstrom as Tyrell Wellick, and Gloria Reuben as Krista Gordon, Elliot's therapist.

"Mr. Robot" airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on USA. The second season is slated to premiere in 2016.
