The licensing deals were brokered by Joy Tashjian Marketing Group for Universal Cable Productions.

"Mr. Robot" follows Elliot (Rami Malek, "The Pacific"), a young programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and as a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot finds himself at a crossroads when the mysterious leader (Christian Slater, "The Adderall Diaries") of an UNDERGROUND hacker group recruits him to destroy the firm he is paid to protect. Compelled by his personal beliefs, Elliot struggles to resist the chance to take down the multinational CEOs he believes are running (and ruining) the world. The series also stars Portia Doubleday ("Her"), Carly Chaikin ("Suburgatory") and Martin Wallström ("Simple Simon"). MR. ROBOT is produced by Universal Cable Productions and is executive produced by Sam Esmail ("Comet") and Anonymous Content's Steve Golin ("True Detective") and Chad Hamilton ("Breakup at a Wedding"). The award-winning drama will return for a third season in 2017.
