TV News: Premiere Date Announced for USA Network’s <i>Mr. Robot</i>

UPDATED: Mon 5/16/18 – New Trailer

 

Last year, during SXSW in Austin Texas, I attended an advance screening of the Mr. Robot pilot. Despite the small turnout, Mr. Robot went on to win the 2015 SXSW Audience Award.

During this year’s SXSW, Rami Malek, Christian Slater, and Sam Esmail participated in a panel in front of hundreds to discuss Mr. Robot’s upcoming season. Oh, what a difference a year makes.

Today, USA Network announced the second season of Mr. Robot will premiere Wednesday, July 13, 2016 at 10/9c.

Here’s a clip to whet your whistle.

I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.
