'Mr. Robot' season 2 news, cast, spoilers: Amazon Prime gets streaming rights for 'Mr. Robot'
One of the biggest and somehow unexpected hits of this summer is USA's "Mr. Robot." Its 10-episode run for the first season was assumed to be well-received by the network, and so they were convinced to renew the show's contract for a second season before it even started. It's also no wonder that online streaming companies are vying to get the show on their roster, and though Netflix may be dominating this area, Amazon Prime Video was able to up them on this one and succeeded in taking "Mr. Robot" in their hands.
According to The Verge, the company announced its victory for exclusive streaming rights to the show. In a press release by the network, it was more than happy to share the good news, "Starting this spring, Prime Video in the US will be the exclusive subscription streaming home for Mr. Robot." Furthermore, overseas fans shouldn't worry as the first season will also exclusively premiere on its service across the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and Japan. Brad Beele, Amazon's vice president, claims, "Prime members are going to love binging on this awesome show."
