'Mr Robot' Gets Season two before series premiere

Cyber drama "Mr Robot", which premiered on Wednesday, has been renewed for a second season.
The renewal happened hours before the USA network series' launch, reported Aceshowbiz.
The second season will consist of at least 10 episodes and will debut next year.
The psychological thriller centres on Elliot (Rami Malek), a young programmer, who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot finds himself at a crossroads when the mysterious leader (Christian Slater) of an underground hacker group recruits him to destroy the firm he is paid to protect.
Compelled by his personal beliefs, Elliot struggles to resist the chance to take down the multinational CEOs he believes are running (and ruining) the world.

"We knew from the moment we read Sam Esmail's provocative script, and witnessed the brilliant performances of Rami Malek and Christian Slater, that 'Mr Robot' is a stand-out series that is unlike anything currently on television," said USA Network president Chris McCumber.
"The overwhelmingly positive fan reactions to the pilot and the broad sampling of it reaffirms our confidence in the series, and we're excited to see where this timely drama will take us for season two."
The series was boosted by positive reviews from critics. It additionally appealed to 2.6 million viewers when the pilot was made available on various digital platforms back in May.
