'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Update: Mr. Robot was one of the surprise television series of 2015. Season 1 of "Mr. Robot" ended on a victorious note for fsociety. Season 2 will continue where the Season 1 finale concluded.
"Look there's definitely a fallout from what happened in season 1 and that will be broached," Rami Malek, a.k.a. Mr. Robot, revealed during the SAG Awards.
"It's kind of sad and disturbing how we've been able to anticipate events that have happened in our culture in the world so I assume that that will continue to happen but you can never predict the future and how distressful it might be, so as much as I think we have the ability to capture that, I hope that we don't, but that would be naive."
Grace Gummer will be joining Mr. Robot season 2 as a series regular. Gummer will play the role of FBI field agent Dominique "Dom" DiPierro, who is investigating the Evil Corp Hack masterminded by Elliot (Rami Malek).
