USA Delays 'Mr. Robot' Finale Over Scene Similar to Virginia Shootings
Posted in: Uncategorized
Fans of USA’s taut techno-thriller “Mr. Robot” will have to wait another week to watch the season finale, as the NBC Universal network has pushed the broadcast date back in light of Wednesday morning’s shooting in Virginia.
USA said late Wednesday that an unfortunate, unforeseeable coincidence prohibited it from airing the episode so soon after the shocking murder of two members of the WDBJ-7 news crew.
“The previously filmed season finale of ‘Mr. Robot’ contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia,” USA said. “Out of respect to the victims, their families and colleagues, and our viewers, we are postponing tonight’s episode. Our thoughts go out to all those affected during this difficult time.”
