'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Cast: Will Christian Slater, Rami Malek Meet Joey Bada$$?

Before Mr. Robot Season 2 returns to USA Network, the first season is now out on DVD and Blu-Ray. Joining the upcoming sophomore season, Mr Robot (Christian Slater) and Elliot (Rami Malek) tease new additions to the cast, including rapper Joey Bada$$.

As we previously mentioned, during the first season, Elliot (Malek) finds himself in hacker territory against Evil Corp with "fsociety." With a mysterious man linked to his past, Elliot finds himself siding with Mr. Robot (Christian Slater). As Evil Corp sinks its seductive claws on Elliot's best friend, Angela (Portia Doubleday), Fsociety has a way of hurting E Corp but in order to put their plans into motion, Elliot has to become more than just a cyber-vigilante. Struggling with his own paranoia and delusions, Elliot wants to know what the connection is between him, Mr. Robot, and Darlene (Carly Chaikin). But will the truth bring about the digital revolution that FSociety has been asking for?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Joey Bada$ and Chris Conroy will have recurring roles on the USA drama. According to the plot synopsis, after severing ties with her husband in season one, Joanna will now have a new man in her life, Derek (Conroy). Like many before him, Derek will someone become infatuated with Joanna.

Joey Bada$, whose real name is Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, plays a close friend of Elliot's from the neighborhood. He often talks excessively to Elliot, whether advising him or philosophizing about the meanings of life. We can only speculate if Elliot's best friend is for real, or is his imaginary best friend.

Michael Cristofer (Evil Corp CEO Philip Price), Stephanie Corneliussen (Joanna), Ben Rappaport (Angela's ex boyfriend Ollie) and Tom Riis Farrell (Bill) have been bumped up to series regulars.

Season 2 of Mr. Robot will return to USA Network.
