Mr. Robot Season 2 Spoilers: Will Christian Slater/Rami Malek Learn Elliot's "Knock Knock?"
USA Network has released an all-new promo for Mr. Robot Season 2 . In the upcoming sophomore season premiere, will Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) and Angela (Portia Doubleday) learn Elliot (Rami Malek)'s "Knock Knock" at his door?
In our previous recaps, during the first season, Elliot (Malek) finds himself in hacker territory against Evil Corp with "fsociety." With a mysterious man linked to his past, Elliot finds himself siding with Mr. Robot (Christian Slater). As Evil Corp sinks its seductive claws on Elliot's best friend, Angela (Portia Doubleday), Fsociety has a way of hurting E Corp but in order to put their plans into motion, Elliot has to become more than just a cyber-vigilante. Struggling with his own paranoia and delusions, Elliot wants to know what the connection is between him, Mr. Robot, and Darlene (Carly Chaikin). But will the truth bring about the digital revolution that FSociety has been asking for?
According to TV Line, the critically acclaimed USA drama has set its July premiere date. The teaser promo, entitled "Knock Knock" revisits the closing moments of the first season finale. After his psychotic break at Times Square, Elliot headed home and found himself staring at his computer until someone came knocking on his apartment door. Will we find out who was the mysterious person knocking at his door?
From what we know so far, the entire 10 episode run will be directed by creator/showrunner Sam Esmail. In our MStars News interview, we asked about the actor/director relationship between Esmail and Martin Wallstrom (Tyrell Wellick).
MS: Because Sam Esmail is the creator of the show, do you prefer when the episode is directed by him?
MW: Sometimes, it's easier to talk to Sam. Especially when it's about three episodes ahead. It was very good to have Sam on set, as much as he was there.
SE: I mean, I was on set even when I wasn't directing. I tried to be there pretty much every day.
MW: That was good! Sometimes, it's hard for a director to know what's going to happen in three episodes.
Season 2 of Mr. Robot premieres on Wednesday, July 13, at 10pm on USA Network
Readers, are you excited to see Mr. Robot's return?
