The creator did not divulge much about the two characters but he said that the question of whether the two will end up in a love story is something that fans will need to watch out for. "I would be a fool not to go down that route," said Esmail.
The "Mr. Robot" series debuted in summer on the USA Network. It tells the story of an anti-social computer programmer Elliot who worked as a cybersecurity engineer during the day and a vigilante hacker at night. His mission was to expose and take down the evil corporation, which is the same establishment he is paid to protect.
Not much is known about the upcoming second season but Esmail summarized it by saying that the story is really about what happens after Elliot found out that Mr. Robot is this deeper character he has been hallucinating.
"Mr. Robot" season 2 is expected to premiere sometime in summer of 2016.
