'Mr. Robot' Spoilers, News: Series Creator Teases Season Finale
The USA network's hit new series 'Mr. Robot' plans on wrapping things up in a major way this coming Wednesday with its season finale.
Things have gone full psychological thriller these past couple episodes, and series creator Sam Esmail recently spoke on how he plans on bringing things together with main character Elliot and Tyrell.
"A lot of that kicks into gear next season, but in the finale, as things sort of collide, it's going to be less about Tyrell and Joanna's relationship and more about Tyrell and Elliot," Esmail told EW. "Next season is when we see the rise of Joanna in a much more dynamic way."
In response to how the seemingly antagonistic character Tyrell will bode next season, Esmail refers to him as always being incredibly damaged.
"I kind of think that he'll always be ... the best way I can describe it without judging him as a character is that he's incredibly damaged," he said. "The fact that he takes the moniker of the quote-unquote "bad guy" is not something I feel comfortable about either way - as much as I wouldn't even put the moniker of "good guy" on Elliot. I think they're actually just both very damaged people, and they've both been motivated by very different things. Obviously Tyrell has crossed more ethical lines. And Tyrell's obviously all about self-preservation and I guess operating more under a selfish desire to get ahead, whereas Elliot on the flipside is seemingly altruistic and operating more on the benefit of other people."
Esmail doesn't reveal much on how things will end, but he does state that it will set things up for the next season and the now ver complicated main character.
"Honestly, the thing about how I wanted to end this season was that I wanted to set up the larger story of Elliot's journey. So that's where we're ending. A lot of things happen in these episodes that are going to give people who are following the show a lot to process and a lot to rethink and a lot to figure out. I think what I wanted ultimately was the experience coming into season 2 to be, "Okay, now I've got everything." In the feature-screenwriting world, this [season 1] was the Act 1. This is our setup, essentially, to sort of inform you, "Here's what the series is going to be about."
