Mr. Robot: Season Two Ratings

With a title like Mr. Robot, some television viewers had pretty low expectations for the USA Network series last summer. It ended up being one of the most talked about shows of the summer. Will the ratings soar in season two or will they disappoint? Could it be cancelled? Stay tuned.

Mr. Robot follows a young programmer (Rami Malek) who finds himself at a crossroad. The mysterious leader (Christian Slater) of an underground hacker group recruits him to destroy the corrupt and dangerous firm he’s being paid to protect. The rest of the cast includes Michael Cristofer, Stephanie Corneliussen, Grace Gummer, Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, and Martin Wallström.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
