Mr. Robot Season 4 Cast
Ashlie Atkinson was recently announced for the cast of Mr. Robot Season 4, serving as the first new face for the final frame. She will play Janice, who’s officially described as “a chatty taxidermist with a peculiar sense of humor.” The Little Rock-born actress has been on quite the high-profile tear as of late, notably with a role in director Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman, recent Netflix film Juanita, along with TV runs on Syfy’s Happy! and CBS All Access’s One Dollar.
Mr. Robot Season 4 will see the return of all the regulars, including Rami Malek, Christian Slater, and Carly Chaikin. Less clear, however, is the fate of Bobby Cannavale’s character Irving. Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail seems dedicated to bringing him back though, saying “if there’s any opportunity to work with him again, I’ll do that.”
There’s also the matter of Fernando Vera (Elliot Villar). You may remember him as the guy who Elliot helped get out of prison and who returned the favor by killing Elliot’s girlfriend. Well from the looks of season 3’s post-credits sequence, he’ll be back. Uh oh.
Mr. Robot Season 4 Trailer
Here are a few preview clips of the final season of Mr. Robot:
Here is the long-awaited full trailer for Mr. Robot Season 4.
Need a reminder of what went down during the first three Mr. Robot seasons? Allow Leon (Joey Bada$$) to explain.
The first teaser trailer for Mr. Robot‘s final season shows Rami Malek’s Elliot forced by an unseen character to answer a very tough question about his destructive actions across the series. It may not be much, but it’s certainly enough to renew our dormant appetites for the series.

Along with the image came a secret message urging fans to head to https://www.whoismrrobot.com/ to learn more about the upcoming final season.
This follows the announcement that Mr. Robot Season 4 will, according to creator Sam Esmail, take place across the span of a single week in December of 2015, carrying the unifying theme of the Christmas holiday.
The intriguing detail was dropped at a Tribeca Film Festival panel hosted by THR’s Scott Feinberg, where Esmail explained (via Deadline):
“Typically, how [British shows] wrap up series, like the British [version of The] Office, you tend to do a Christmas special. So, the final season of Mr. Robot is one very long Christmas special that will last about a week over Christmas of 2015.”
Esmail – who was joined in the panel by stars Rami Malek, Christian Slater and Carly Chaikin – spent much of the time discussing the show’s evolution, which, besides its own story developments, has been affected by external factors. The series, which launched back in June 2015, still takes place in the later part of that year. Indeed, after initially brandishing the tagline, “Our democracy has been hacked,” its proven prescience has rendered the series a period piece of sorts.

Mr. Robot Season 4 Details
Rami Malek recently returned to the set of Mr. Robot, which is currently shooting its fourth-and-final frame. However, it’s hard not to acknowledge that Malek is showing up to the set of the cable series after having just won the highest prize that the industry can bestow an actor – a Best Lead Actor Oscar for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. As he shifts focus from Freddie back to Elliot Alderson, his tortured anarchist hacker-turned unwitting pawn for a global criminal cabal, Malek discusses his expectations for Mr. Robot Season 4 in an interview with EW, stating:
“I trust [creator Sam Esmail] implicitly, so if that is the way he thought he could close out this story line, then I’m with him.” He adds, “I can say this, it is a very impactful, emotional, and I think clearly well thought out way to end this story and this series. It’s remarkable. I’m in awe of the man and what he has done this season.”
As far as the atmosphere on the set as the series heads to its finish line, Malek explains:
“Christian [Slater] and Carly [Chaikin] and I were on set the other day almost making a pact to soak everything in as much as possible,” he shares. “Christian has always been a guy who has got me to really savor these momentous times in our lives, and this has been a major one for me and the most life-changing. So, it’s obviously bittersweet, but I’m just going to try and enjoy it for as long as I possibly can.“
Regarding the expectations of the viewers for the series ending, Rami Malek explained in an interview with Digital Spy last month, that the ending will be pretty wild.
“[Christian Slater and I] both got a call from Sam Esmail and my mouth was agape after he told me how the season ended,” Malek said. “It’s going to be a very, very, climactic ending to what I think has been four great seasons of television.”
