USA's 'Mr. Robot': Christian Slater, Rami Malek Hack Writers Guild Awards 2016 Nominations!

Before Mr. Robot Season 2 returns, the popular USA Network is bringing the first season onto DVD and Blu-Ray. Gaining critical acclaim, Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), Elliot (Rami Malek), and Angela (Portia Doubleday) have earned their nominations for the 2016 Writers Guild of America.

During our first season recaps, 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 (Slater). As Evil Corp sinks its seductive claws on Elliot's best friend, Angela (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 delusion, 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 TV Line, The Writers Guild of America has released its list of 2016 nominations. The winners will be announced in February, during simultaneous ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York City. Mr. Robot has earned its nod for Best Drama Series and New Series, competing against Better Call Saul, The Americans, and Game of Thrones.

Winners of the The Writers Guild of America will be announced Saturday, February 13. We're definitely crossing our fingers for this show folks!

As we previously mentioned, these nominations come out just when the USA hacker drama took home the award for Breakthrough Series - Longform at the recent Gotham Awards ceremony. If the show wins here, does this mean the Golden Globes are next? We's crossing our fingers here!

Mr. Robot will return to USA Network for the second season. Mr. Robot: Season 1 arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray on January 12.

Readers, are you excited for Mr Robot's return?
