Mr. Robot was renewed for a second season before it premiered

HitFixs Alan Sepinwall reviews Mr. Robot, the new USA drama starring Rami Malek as a vigilante hacker and Christian Slater as a fellow hacker looking to recruit him.

Christian Slater's curse has been lifted! USA Network today announced a second season pickup of the actor's upcoming drama series Mr. Robot, snapping Slater's streak of appearing in largely single-season shows.

For the creepy sci-fi vibe there are two opportunities with Humans on AMC (you can watch the premiere episode on YouTube) and Mr. Robot on USA. Battlebots is back on ABC and Netflix will even have the season-ending 

The pilot for the new hacker drama Mr. Robot was officially posted online a month ahead of the TV series premiere (which was last night on USA) and netizens have spoken: Mr. Robot is so popular, the cable network ordered 

“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
