USA Network surprised "Mr. Robot" fans on Sunday, July 10 evening with an early premiere of the second season. The first episode of new season was made available for viewing pleasure on Twitter on July 10 for a very short period of time, three days ahead of its premiere on the network, AceShowbiz said.

"We have released the #mrrobot season_2.0 Premiere early, but it won't be here long, Watch while you can, friends," read the message accompanying the video. The video could not be played soon afterward, but it was later put up on Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and usanetwork.com.

"Mr. Robot" premieres on USA on Wednesday, July 13 at 10/9c with two back-to-back episodes which will be presented with limited commercial breaks. It will be followed with a live aftershow titled "Hacking Robot".

The cable channel recently added the season two order for the critically-acclaimed series from 10 to 12 episodes.
