'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Spoilers: New Secrets, Elliot's Backstory To Be Unveiled
Everything fans learned about Elliot Anderson and the Fsociety in the first season of "Mr. Robot" are just the tip of the iceberg. According to season 2 spoilers from the show's creator, they have just scratched the surface of a bigger world.
"There will be a lot more backstory that will be shown," Sam Esmail said during the Television Critics' Association press tour as reported by Entertainment Weekly.
"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."
He added, "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."
The biggest thought fans should hold on to when "Mr. Robot" season release date arrives - the person Elliot is constantly talking to turned out to be is his own father, played by Christian Slater. Accordingly, he is just hallucinating. What's more messed up than that is that he is already dead.
While the character is dead, earlier "Mr. Robot" season 2 spoilers insist Slater is here to say.
"The way Sam described it to me - but honestly, I have the same question - he said, 'Elliot without Mr. Robot is like Bruce Banner without the Hulk," Christian Slater told EW in September when asked about his character in "Mr. Robot" season 2.
Fans do not have to worry though if his character gets less interesting in the Golden Globe winning drama. Esmail dished more spoilers to his audience in TCA saying that the veteran actor's character and storyline is the fun part of "Mr. Robot" season 2.
"No, I actually think this is the fun part," he said. "When I first wrote this as a feature [film, the Mr. Robot revelation] happened at the first act break."
"What the movie was about, was what if a guy discovers this thing about himself, what's the next thing he does? That, to me, is the interesting part."
