Mr. Robot

Elliot wasn’t in too good of shape when last we left Mr. Robot, but Season 3 already has the antisocial super-hacker up and running. See for yourself in a first clip, as an attempt to hack the Dark Army gets very personal, very quickly.

Hello, friend. You’ve waited long enough for new episodes of Mr. Robot, and a first full Season 3 trailer is here to take the edge off that October premiere. Rest assured, Five/Nine was only the beginning.

Time is all we have after Mr. Robot delayed Season 3 from summer to fall, so it stands to reason time becomes a maddening taunt. See for yourself in the first formal Season 3 teaser, as ticking clocks put Elliot, Darlene, Angela and Mr. Robot himself on edge.

The second season of USA’s Mr. Robot didn’t quite reach the heights of its first, but Season 3 has reason to celebrate regardless. Our first photo sees Elliot surprisingly social at a hackers’ gathering, while new intel suggest Tyrell Wellick will be back full-time this year.

It’s a brave new world for the 2017 Emmy awards with Game of Thrones and others sitting this year out. The big announcement is finally here, as presented by Veep star Anna Chlumsky and Criminal Minds veteran Shemar Moore, so let’s find out what we’re all angry about/celebrating this year at the Emmys!

If you thought perhaps we were overdue for Mr. Robot news, you weren’t wrong. Not only do we now know that Elliot and fsociety will be back for Season 3 later than expected, but they’ll also have Bobby Cannavale and a new series regular in tow.

Fritz Lang’s 1927 opus Metropolis didn’t just provide the canonized German director with one of his finest works, it all but singlehandedly introduced sci-fi to the then-nascent cinema. The story of a future dystopia separated into a pampered bourgeoisie and threadbare underclass blew open the doors for everything from Blade Runner to Star Wars, and Lang’s grand production values — massive Expressionist sets, scads of cowering extras, the guiding aesthetic of bigness — captivated audiences. Metropolis’ bold style and primal theme of tensions between haves vs. have-nots trickled down to Madonna’s “Express Yourself” video, The Hunger Games, and more literal adaptations stretching from anime to musical theatre.

The second season of USA’s Emmy-winning Mr. Robot took us into a world rocked by economic upheaval and uncertainty, which now bears more than a passing resemblance to our own. As such, creator Sam Esmail “leaked” a new script page from the third season, in which Elliot reacts to the election of Donald Trump.

SNL burst out of the gate for Season 42 over the weekend, having spent a summer in transition with headline after headline passing them by. Leslie Jones in particular had something to say about the hack she suffered in August, recruiting Mr. Robot himself to track down the culprit in a new sketch.

After a season’s worth of buildup and fake-outs, Mr. Robot capped off its Emmy win with another mind-boggling finale’s worth of light answers and more questions. Perhaps most surprising of all was the “post-credits” scene that saw not one, but three unexpected returns, while creator Sam Esmail lays out both Star Wars and Donald Trump influences on Season 3.
