'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Spoilers: Elliot To Meet His Match? New Cast Member Revealed
Recent "Mr. Robot" season 2 spoilers revealed that the show barely scratched the surface when it comes to Elliot Anderson's secrets.
But series creator Sam Esmail teased that Elliot's big secret might be exposed come second season.
"USA's summer critical breakout Mr. Robot is adding a new cast member - and her role hints at a major storyline in season 2," Entertainment Weekly reported.
"Grace Gummer ("American Horror Story," "Extant") has joined the hacker drama in a series regular role."
"She'll play Dominique (Dom) DiPierro, 'a young FBI field agent investigating the Evil Corp Hack. She uses her instinctive skills to try and track down the fsociety members and find answers," the EW spoilers for "Mr. Robot" season 2 added.
Gummer's character will add to a string of problems Rami Malek's character will face.
In another interview, Esmail said season 2 will deal with Elliot's mental issues.
"Yeah, that's the one thing that's been kind of hard going into this second season," Esmail said in an interview with Esquire. "Because if we want to be honest to where Elliot was at the end of the first season, it's not a light and sunny place. Now that we are aware of his [mental health] issues, Elliot has to address them."
He and his colleagues will also face a bigger enemy in "Mr. Robot" season 2, according to spoilers.
"Also, at the end of the first season we think that the mission is complete and that they were able to take down Evil Corp, but we see in the coda with that scene between WhiteRose and Philip Price that there are larger forces at play," Esmail was quoted by Entertainment Weekly as saying.
"Mr. Robot" season 2 release date is expected to be around or June or July this year. Watch out for more spoilers before then.
