Hello, friend. The hackers of fsociety have an all-new message for you: “Control is an illusion.” But this next part isn’t an illusion: Mr. Robot is returning, for real, on July 13. And as the show’s cast recently teased at a Yahoo TV-moderated Academy panel, Season 2.0 is going to be a compelling upgrade, with more mind-blowing plot twists, an elevated visual style and some new characters joining the paranoia-laced fun. Some of those new faces ? including Grace Gummer and Craig Robinson, playing an FBI agent and a helpful neighbor respectively ? are featured in this series of 9 new character posters. Click through the above gallery to see Elliot (Rami Malek), Mr. Robot (Christian Slater), Darlene (Carly Chaikin) and Angela (Portia Doubleday) in all their glowering glory. Control may be an illusion, but we’ll have to use that illusion in order to wait patiently for July 13.

Mr. Robot premieres July 13 at 10 p.m. on USA
