USA Network has released the highly anticipated pilot of their upcoming hacker drama, Mr. Robot. Ahead of the show's June premiere, along with the Season 5 premiere of Suits, check out the exciting first episode starring Christian Slater (Pump Up The Volume) and Rami Malek (The Pacific).

As we previously mentioned, Mr. Robot centers on a young and isolated programmer named Elliot (Malek). Suffering from an anti-social disorder, Elliot can only connect to people by actually hacking them. Elliot is then recruited to join an underground hacker organization determined to bring down corporate America by a mysterious anarchist named Mr. Robot (Slater).

Elliot Villar (Gotham), Azhar Khan (Veep), Ron Cephas Jones (Banshee), Stephanie Corneliussen (Hello Ladies: The Movie) and Michael Drayer (The Sopranos), Michael Cristofer (Smash), Randy Harrison (Queer as Folk) and Michele Hicks (The Shield) have joined the cast alongside Portia Doubleday (Carrie), Carly Chaikin (Suburgatory) and Martin Wallstrom (Simple Simon).

UPDATE: As we previously mentioned, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Sakina Jaffrey have also joined the cast in recurring role. Now readers will get to see everyone in their perspective roles.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the pilot for Mr. Robot has been released nearly a full month ahead of its official June 24 debut.

Regarding the show's distribution strategy, USA Network President Chris McCumber stated in a press release, "It is more important than ever to push boundaries in order to break through the clutter and reach new audiences. Mr. Robot which has already garnered awards before it has even aired, gives us a unique opportunity to make some noise and drive word of mouth through this innovative pre-linear strategy."

With good word-of-mouth, we're crossing our fingers and hope this will drive viewership to the show once it makes its official launch on the cable network.

WATCH the Full Pilot Episode here:

Mr. Robot will premiere Wednesday, June 24 at 10pm on USA. The fifth season premiere of Suits will air beforehand that very same night at 9pm.
