Announcing the pilot pick-up, President of USA Network Chris McCumber stated, “Mr. Robot is a visionary drama. It is a very timely and relatable story that captures both the excitement and danger of today’s digital world.”

The Plot:

Mr. Robot is a contemporary, culturally resonant drama about a young programmer, Elliot, who suffers from a debilitating anti-social disorder and decides that he can only connect to people by hacking them. He wields his skills as a weapon to protect the people that he cares about. Elliot will find himself in the intersection between a cybersecurity firm he works for and the underworld organizations that are recruiting him to bring down corporate America.
