Mr Robot season 3 trailer reveals the fate of Rami Malek's unreliable protagonist

The show will return in October after months of delay

USA Network has released a brand new trailer for Mr Robot season three hinting at a resolution to the second season's climactic cliffhanger.

Rami Malek returns as Elliot Alderson - perhaps the most unreliable narrator television has ever seen (think Fight Club's Tyler Durden x1000) - despite getting shot in the closing moments of season two. It's no spoiler to see he's alive, and it's no surprise to see the programmer-turned-cyber terrorist is still involved in a conspiracy that goes deeper than any other character in this show understands.

Christian Slater, Grace Gummer, Carly Chaikin and Portia Doubleday all return for more with creator Sam Esmail back holding total control over his series as director of every episode. The biggest new addition to the cast comes in the form of Bobby Cannavale as a "laconic, no-nonsense used car salesman."

Mr Robot - which won the Best Drama Golden Globe award in 2016 - was originally supposed to return at the beginning of summer, however it found itself delayed until October for reasons still unclear.

The series airs in the US on USA Network and will be available to watch on a weekly basis in the UK on Amazon Prime.
