MR. ROBOT S03 delayed

When the first season of “Mr. Robot” debuted, it caught everyone off guard in a few different ways. It was a completely unexpected and serious series for USA, who had previously stocked their lineup of original series with easy, breezy, summer-y shows.

USA just announced it that the series' third season is starting production in April and will debut in October, so while it's disappointing that “Mr. Robot” won't be back this summer, it could be a good thing. Presumably it's a chance for director Sam Esmail to give some more time to the scripts and the third season's overall strategy.

It was also announced that Bobby Cannavale will be joining Rami Malek, Christian Slater, Portia Doubleday, and Carly Chaikin as series regular Irving. Further, BD Wong was also elevated to a series regular.

The season will again run for 10 episodes, with Esmail directing all of them.
