London – 25 September,  2015 - MR.  ROBOT, one of the most buzzworthy U.S. shows of the  year, will launch exclusively for Amazon Prime members in the U.K., Germany  & Austria after Prime Video secured streaming rights to the drama-thriller  series from NBCUniversal.

The first episode of MR. ROBOT premiered in the U.S. earlier this year at the South by Southwest Film Festival  where it won the Audience Award for Episodic Television and then later aired on  the USA Network. All 10 episodes of the critically lauded series from Universal  Cable Productions will be available to stream in the U.K. for Amazon Prime members  from Friday 16 October, 2015.

MR. ROBOT has been described as “The  Social Network meets ‘Occupy Wall Street’” and has already won widespread praise  from fans and critics alike;  referred to  as an “addictive, entertaining and popular out-of-nowhere summer series” (The  Hollywood Reporter), a “visually striking, subversive and often surprising  drama” (Rolling Stone), “a modern classic” (www.forbes.com),   a “gripping thriller to binge-watch” (People)  and “the best hacking show yet” (Wired). MR.  ROBOT has also received an “A”-rating (Entertainment Weekly) and has a 9.0/10  IMDb rating.

"We’re delighted to bring MR. ROBOT exclusively to Amazon Prime  members in the U.K. This is hands down one of the best and freshest shows  on TV and has had critics and audiences raving around the world,” said Jason  Ropell, Amazon Video Head of International Content.  “Hot on the heels of our Jeremy Clarkson announcement, MR. ROBOT adds another amazing show to our list of exceptional  global TV shows available for Prime members in the U.K., including Transparent, Hand of God, Outlander, Ripper Street, and the highly  anticipated upcoming launch of the Ridley Scott produced Amazon original  series Man in the High Castle.”

“Since MR. ROBOT’s  premiere earlier this year, it has received overwhelming critical acclaim  thanks to its compelling writing, superb acting and culturally relevant  storylines. Amazon Prime is the perfect home for this tech thriller and we’re  proud to partner with them to bring the series to their audiences in the U.K., Germany  and Austria,” said Belinda Menendez, President, NBCUniversal International  Distribution & Universal Networks International.

Mr.  Robot stars Rami Malek (The Pacific) as Elliot, a  young computer programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and as  a vigilante hacker by night. Elliot finds himself at a crossroads when the  mysterious leader of an underground hacker group played by Christian Slater (Nymphomaniac) recruits him to destroy the firm he is paid to  protect. Compelled by his personal beliefs, Elliot struggles to resist the  chance to take down the multinational CEOs he believes are running (and  ruining) the world.
  Mr. Robot also stars Portia Doubleday (Her), Carly Chaikin (Suburgatory)  and Martin Wallström (Simple  Simon). Sam Esmail (Comet)  is creator, writer and executive producer. Anonymous Content’s Steve Golin (True  Detective) and Chad Hamilton (Breakup  at a Wedding) also serve as executive producers.
