Mr. Robot to end in 2019

Rumours about a final upcoming season for Mr. Robot have proven true, with confirmation the US drama will conclude in 2019.

Series creator Sam Esmail has confirmed a final chapter, rumoured to be an expanded 12-episode order.

“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,” Esmail said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

“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. 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.”

Mr. Robot debuted in Australia as a flagship show for Seven-Foxtel’s Presto streaming service, before moving to Showcase.
