The acclaimed drama will conclude in 2019.
August 29, 2018
It is being reported that Mr. Robot will be coming to an end after its already-announced fourth season. The news comes more than eight months since the drama was picked up for Season 4, along with word that fans will be waiting until 2019 for new episodes to return.
The cable drama will be ending a run that was never considered a ratings success, but one that garnered plenty of praise from both critics and its core fan base. Despite its small audience, USA Network stuck with series, likely valuing the fact that it picked up its share of awards, including a win for Best Drama at the 2016 Golden Globes.
Mr. Robot follows a young, anti-social programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer during the day but spends his nights as a vigilante hacker. He finds himself in a quandary when the anarchist leader of an underground hacker group recruits him to take down the powerful corporations that he believes are running, and ruining, the world.
While the series is coming to a close, fans can take solace in the fact that today's news comes well in advance of Season 4. The early notice will give its writers time to craft a suitable ending that will provide loyal fans with some much-deserved closure. USA Network has not been as kind to other serialized shows recently with the sudden axing of both Colony and Shooter this summer.

I liked season 1 but seasons 2 and 3 were not the best. The slow pace, the delusions and I don't think they did a good job at showing the results of the financial crash. It is like they ignored that in favor of a conspiracy that didn't make sense. Maybe they will explain it better in the last season.

It's a good idea to exit while you're ahead.
I loved the show for its technical accuracy and depiction of the world of hackers. The relationships between the characters was also interesting. But its plotline has slowly gone off the rails as the web of conspiracy continued to grow and veered off into fantasy and paranoia.

This is probably for the best. The show has amazing potential but it confuses a slow pace with a languid one and wasted an incredible amount of time in each season so far, with S2 being the worst offender.
That said, with the pace the show has been on, even with full notice of the show's imminent end, I have little faith in Esmail to actually deliver on all the myriad things they've hinted at the past three seasons and most fans will walk away unfulfilled.

Ahhh ... All the hype around the show, fed by its creators, was how realistic it was - which is total bs. The racist comments reads as a joke. UK idioms??
It was about being doped, so I can see how that would eventually be a drag to many. Likewise, shows that go on endlessly about drinking are banal.
Promoters of Mr Robot unleashed a internet program that worked like a virus and was unwanted by most that got infected.
From what I saw of Mr Robot, it was barely ok (fit for stopping) if not perverse and overrated.

Wow. Three comments complaining that the show isn't realistic? One because the show doesn't have enough white people, another that it's too drug-centered and the last is some nonsense about UK idioms (I think).
They're all hilarious to me because the show has taken such pride and has received enoumous praise for it's realism and its willingness to break from cookie-cutter standards even at the expense of it's own commercial success.

I’ve yet to watch this show but I’m guessing it’s ending because Rami Malek’s popularity is rising with 2 big movies coming out that he’s headlining. If even one is a hit the network may not be able to afford him anymore.

This show had a great run. I didn't become a loyal fan until Season two. all good things must come to an end. Here's hoping it's a good one! On another point, USA should have shown more mercy towars other shows. Most notably, Damnation.

supposed to be in the US yet hardly any white males the biggest demographic. racist shiw.

Well. At least i can now delete all 4 seasons that you have to keep laying around to get back to stuffs in order to understand" and see all the little details that flew under your radar while watching the show. i can now use that extra storage for more homework stuffs related.
