USA Network is making a bigger commitment to its critically acclaimed “Mr. Robot,” which begins its second season on July 13.
The network has ordered two additional second season installment, bringing the season’s episode count to twelve episodes. It has also expanded the aforementioned July 13 premiere event.
Set for 10PM on July 13, the premiere will now consist of two, back-to-back episodes.
Following those episodes, which will air with limited commercial interruption, USA will air a live, one-hour after-show entitled “Hacking Robot.”
Creator Sam Esmail will direct all twelve of this season’s episodes.
“The first season of MR. ROBOT was everything we hoped for – and then some,” said Chris McCumber, President Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “So it’s no surprise that Sam and team have raised the bar even more in season two. From the first moments of the new season, it’ll be clear that audiences are in for something incredibly special and wholly unexpected.”
