USA Network has upped its Season 2 order of Golden Globe-winning drama series "Mr. Robot" from 10 episodes to 12 episodes.

In addition, creator and exec producer Sam Esmail will direct all 12 episodes this season, and USA has set live after show "Hacking Robot" to air following the two-episode season 2 July 13 premiere.

Following the trend of live after shows, “Hacking Robot will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the breakout drama,” USA says.





“The first season of Mr. Robot was everything we hoped for – and then some,” said Chris McCumber, President Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.

“So it’s no surprise that Sam and team have raised the bar even more in season two. From the first moments of the new season, it’ll be clear that audiences are in for something incredibly special and wholly unexpected.”



“Strap in! The extraordinary ride that is Mr. Robot continues with a wild season two. It’s a brilliant and immersive journey that demands to be watched again and again,” said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and President, Universal Cable Productions and Wilshire Studios.
