'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Spoilers: Esmail On What We Can Expect From Season 2
After a successful first season of "Mr. Robot," fans are waiting to hear more about what will happen in the upcoming season of the series.
The creator of "Mr. Robot," Sam Esmail, recently shared some interesting details about season 2. He explained that the upcoming season will focus on Elliot's journey to reconciliation.
The previous season showed that the character Mr. Robot was actually just part of Elliot's imagination. The reveal came as a surprise to the audience, disclosing that the series had been portraying Elliot's delusional perspective.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Esmail stated, "There will be a lot more backstory that will be shown, the timeline will get a little clearer - not 100 percent clear, because where's the fun in that? But a little clearer. It really is about Elliott trying to reconcile what this means in seeing Mr. Robot. The series is filling in the blanks of the past and the present of this character. It's about a guy who becomes aware of this delusion he's been having."
With that, fans can expect a clearer storyline in the upcoming season. In addition, the season will also reveal more details about the several characters, which could provide some clarity to the audience.
In addition, Esmail stated that the upcoming season will present a darker theme compared to the first one. It was also revealed that stars such as Rami Malek, Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, and Martin Wallstrom will be returning to the show.
Christian Slater, who played the role of Mr. Robot in the previous season, will also return next season. However, he will also be taking the role of Edward Alderson, Elliot's departed father. He recently won a Golden Globe award for Supporting Actor for his role in the series.
"Mr. Robot" season 2 is expected to air this June 2016.
