Mr. Robot Will End After Season 4

After premiering on USA in 2015, Mr. Robot is now approaching the end of its road. It's been announced that the upcoming Season 4 of the series starring Rami Malek will be its final.

The new was first broken by The Hollywood Reporter, which says the final season is likely to be expanded to 12 episodes, rather than the originally expected 8. In a statement to THR, creator Sam Esmail says, "Since day one, I've been building toward one conclusion--and in breaking the next season of Mr. Robot, I have decided that conclusion is finally here. Everyone on the creative team, including the amazing people at USA and UCP, didn't want to say goodbye, but we ultimately have too much respect for Elliot's journey to extend past its inevitable ending. Therefore, season four will serve as the final chapter of the Mr. Robot story."

Esmail quickly followed to news in a tweet to fans of the series. "Excited to show you guys the final chapter in Elliot's journey," he writes. "It's going to be sad to say goodbye to Mr. Robot, but it'll be sadder to say goodbye to all the fans. Thanks for hanging with us throughout the years and cannot wait to share the conclusion with all of you."

A premiere date for the final season of Mr. Robot has yet to be announced. For its first two seasons, the show served as a summer series for USA, before Season 3 debuted in October of 2017 and carried on until December.

Even with Mr. Robot coming to a close, Esmail is keeping plenty busy. He's currently hard at work on Homecoming, the Amazon original he created that stars Julia Roberts. Malek, on the other hand, is ready to make the jump to the big screen. In October, he stars as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, a biopic about the legendary band.
