LOS ANGELES, June 24 (UPI) -- USA Network says Season 2 of its cyber-terrorism series Mr. Robot has been expanded from 10 to 12 episodes.

"Kicking off the new season on July 13, premiere night will include two back-to-back episodes of Mr. Robot with limited commercials," the network said. "The double installment will pick up 30 days after the now infamous fsociety 5/9 hack on multi-national company Evil Corp. This season will explore the consequences of that attack -- including an FBI investigation -- as well as the illusion of control."
