The surprise hit and critical favorite of 2015, "Mr. Robot" has fans chomping at the bit for more information about what's to come.
Don't worry, we finally have it.
On the heels of the USA Network show's Globes wins earlier this week, creator Sam Esmail and his stars appeared at the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday in Los Angeles.
While writing is ongoing for a return to shooting in March, creator Sam Esmail is keeping a lot of details about the show's second season close to the vest. But he did give us some details on what's to come when the show returns in the summer.
(Needless to say, there are spoilers for season one ahead.)
Here are seven things we know about season two:

Creator Sam Esmail is directing all 10 new episodes.
Sam Esmail is taking the quick route through the TV business. It's especially rare for a first-time creator to run their show, too, which he did. But on season two, he'll add another hat: full-time director. He doesn't mind the extra work and said he's not the greatest collaborator.
"The show’s look is so singular," he said. "It’s actually going to be easier for me."
There will be some (but not total) clarity about season one and the storyline.
Now that Elliot (Rami Malek) is aware of his breakdowns, season two will begin the task of clarifying events and the order in which they happened.
"I will say there will be a lot more backstory," Esmail revealed. "The timeline is going to get a little clearer, not a lot clearer, but clearer... This series is filling in the blanks of this character, the past, the present, and the future. That’s how I’m approaching every season."
It's all about what's in Elliot's head.
When we last left Elliot, his whole life was falling apart. What's real and what's not? And how far gone is his mental health? Those are the questions season two will be built around.
"The whole show is about Elliott’s emotional journey and less about the plot," Esmail said.
“That’s a tough pill to swallow, and we’re really going into the mind of a person who’s just become aware of that,” he continued. “Will twists organically derive out of that? If I were a betting man, I’d say yes.”
