The delay in the upcoming season's release is apparently the result of giving creator Sam Esmail more time to make sure "Mr. Robot" season 3 is perfectly done. Just as he did in season 2, Esmail is set to helm all 10 episodes of the upcoming season.

"Sam Esmail is a true creative visionary who continues to deliver a series that boldly tackles timely issues and leans into the major headlines of the day. We're eager to share the next phase of Elliot's journey with fans this fall," said Entertainment Networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment President Chris McCumber.

NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Chief Content Office Jeff Wachtel previewed that the upcoming season will "engage viewers in a whole new way with Sam and team continuing to find ways to surprise, challenge and delight the audience."

The third season of "Mr. Robot" is also expected to shed some more light on the supporting characters, and not just Elliot, who is portrayed by Emmy Award winner Rami Malek. Joanna Wellick (Stephanie Corneliussen) and Angela (Portia Doubleday) are only two of the characters who are set to take more of the limelight, with the latter's romantic connection with Elliot being explored as well.

"Mr. Robot" season 3 will return to television screens in October.
