2015-16 TV Season: Renewed, Canceled, and on the Bubble6 of 225
Renewed: "Mr. Robot"
Date announced: August 16
USA renewed "Mr. Robot" for Season 3. The show, like many prestige cable dramas, has a large pop-cultural footprint but, by conventional audience metrics, a small audience. The story of an emotionally unstable hacker who wreaks havoc on the global economy has been praised by both critics and fans for capturing the zeitgeist. The show's tech-savvy viewers prefer to watch it well after its initial telecast. Nielsen ratings for the Season 2 premiere grew 175 percent from a 0.4 Live + Same Day Rating to a 1.1 Live + 7 Day Rating in the key Adults 18 to 49 demographic. "Mr. Robot" is nominated for numerous 2016 Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series.
