Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail has reiterated that the hacker drama will last no more than five seasons, despite USA network having designs on more, as he’s unwilling to infect the organic length of the story, per THR:
I’ve been very open from the get-go, just even in selling the pilot that I don’t see it going more than four, maybe five, max five [seasons]. They jokingly sometimes slip in, “Oh, when we go into season seven, or eight, or nine.” And then of course, I laugh and I’m like, no, that’s not going to happen. I feel like, again, because they’ve been so supportive on everything else that they wouldn’t budge on this. They know that we should end this in the right way and not just drag it out for the sake of everything else. I think they’re very respectful and supportive.
Mr. Robot Season 3 already looks a no-brainer, but stay tuned as we continue to monitor the survival status of USA’s new benchmark…
