During Episode 5 of DIG, viewers were treated with special surprise as USA Network unveiled the latest promo for the upcoming hacker drama, Mr. Robot. The trailer presents a thrilling first look at the new series starring Christian Slater (Heathers) and Rami Malek (The Pacific).

In our recent recap, Peter Connelly (Jason Isaacs) finds himself pretending to be Emma Wilson (Alison Sudol)'s father during the investigation of her death. Elsewhere, Debbie (Lauren Ambrose) escaped from her prison cell and kidnapped the cloned child, Josh. After getting his butt handed to him by Debbie's boyfriend, Ted Billingham (David Costabile) ordered his female assassin, Fay (Angela Bettis), to get the clone back and eliminate the others.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mr. Robot centers on a young programmer named Elliot (Malek). Suffering from an anti-social disorder, Elliot can only connect to people by hacking them. Elliot is then recruited to join an underground hacker organization. They are determined to bring down corporate America by a mysterious anarchist named Mr. Robot (Slater).

Portia Doubleday (Carrie), Carly Chaikin (Suburgatory) and Martin Wallstrom (Simple Simon) also star in the cast. Presented at the recent SXSW Film Festival, the show won the coveted Audience Award. Mr. Robot is part of the summer lineup, which also includes Complications, from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix. Season 5 of Suits is also expected to return this summer as well. 

Check out the first promo here:

In the footage, we see Elliot during his therapy session, which isn't going too well by the way. His female therapist asks, "What is about society that disappoints you so much?" Estranged from the rest of the world, Elliot has so much to say about his displeasure but unfortunately, he's not saying a single word.

When his therapist asks if anything is wrong, Elliot holds back his rant and says, "Nothing."
