It has been announced that Emmy-winning actor Bobby Cannavale will star in season 3 of the USA network series Mr. Robot. He will be a series regular. Cannavale starred in HBO's Boardwalk Empire as Gyp Rosetti, and HBO's Vinyl, where he played a drug addicted record executive.

Mr. Robot will premier its 10-episode third season, in October, instead of the usual release month of July. The series stars Emmy award winning actor Rami Malek, who plays Elliot Alderson a hacker.

Chris McCumber, President, Entertainment Networks for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment said, "Sam Esmail is a true creative visionary who continues to deliver a series that boldly tackles timely issues and leans into the major headlines of the day. We're eager to share the next phase of Elliot's journey with fans this fall." 

"Season 3 of Mr Robot will engage viewers in a whole new way, with Sam and team continuing to find ways to surprise, challenge and delight the audience. And adding Bobby Cannavale and BD Wong to our cast makes one of the tightest acting ensembles even stronger," said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.
