'Mr. Robot' Season 2 PHOTOS: Christian Slater, Rami Malek Tease Elliot's July Premiere!

USA Network has released behind-the-scenes photos for Mr. Robot Season 2 . before the upcoming July premiere, check out the return of Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), Angela (Portia Doubleday), and Elliot (Rami Malek) as they wage war against Evil Corp.

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 the official USA Network site, with the sophomore season back in production, the cast and crew have been sharing snapshots onto their personal Instagram walls. In the pictures, we can see creator/showrunner Esmail directing the Heathers actor at their New York set. Though we witnessed her death in the freshmen season, Frankie Shaw will be reprising her role as Shayla Nico in some capacity.

Esmail writes, "Showing THE #MrRobot his first shot of the season."

With the upcoming 10 episode run directed by creator/showrunner, 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 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.
