Sad news for Mr. Robot fans today, as USA has announced that the show’s fourth season will be its last. The network renewed the hit series late last year, but Sam Esmail (the show’s executive producer) explained why he decided to call it quits, saying he always envisioned one ending for the series, even if USA and people working on the show did not want to leave it quite yet.
“When I first created the world of Mr. Robot, I thought it would be a niche television series with a small, cult following. Over the past three years, it has become so much more, and I am continually humbled by the show’s recognition and by the amazing cast and crew that work tirelessly to help bring my vision to life. Since Day 1, 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 4 will serve as the final chapter of the Mr. Robot story. To fans of the show: Thank you for the past three years, and I can’t wait to share this exciting final season with you.”
The good news is, the show has expanded to 12 episodes (from 8, originally), though we will not catch it on air until 2019.
Elliott’s ending is coming.
