Ending Mr. Robot after season 4 may actually be the best move despite it being one of the best shows on television.

Mr. Robot took many by surprise with its thought-provoking and thrilling first season.

Season 2 was met with a great deal of mixed reception, but season 3 brought many fans back on board. The show looks to continue that momentum in season 4.

To the surprise of some fans, in an interview with Collider, Christian Slater teased that the upcoming season 4 may be the final season for Mr. Robot.

Yeah, season 4, and I believe that will be the last season. (Show creator) Sam [Esmail] always said it was going to be somewhere in that zone, and he didn’t want to go further than what he could creatively contribute to that storyline. So, I think that season 4 will be it.

While this isn’t official confirmation that season 4 will be the end of the show, it seems like a pretty good bet coming from Slater, one of the show’s stars from the very beginning. This is also not the first time it’s been mentioned that the show’s creative mastermind, Sam Esmail, envisioned the show ending after 4 seasons.

An ending in sight may seem like a major bummer for Mr. Robot fans, but it’s actually good news. Mr. Robot is one of the smartest and most unconventional shows on television. It deserves to end in that fashion instead of being stretched out into an excessive number of seasons, a phenomenon which has tarnished the quality and legacy of far too many television shows.

Esmail has previously discussed how the show contains 3 acts. The first was season 1, the second season 2 and 3. Season 4 marks the third and final act.

In terms of character development and storytelling, the season 3 finale contained a number of huge developments, all acting as setup for the show’s ending.

Elliot and Mr. Robot have finally reached a place of coexistence. Elliot finally knows that White Rose has been the real enemy all along, the true 1 percent of the 1 percent that needs to be destroyed in order to give himself and all of society a chance at starting over. Now that the 5/9 hack is on its way to being undone, Elliot can focus on what really matters. He is more comfortable with himself and his motivations than ever before.

The invincibility of White Rose and the Dark Army has finally shattered as their vulnerability was revealed. The revelation that Angela was Philip Price’s daughter offers an unlikely alliance and way forward for both characters who spent much of season 3 lost after being brutally manipulated by White Rose.

Even one of season 1’s lingering questions is finally being addressed with the return of the despicable Vera in the season 3 finale’s post-credits scene.

A number of mysteries still need to be answered, such as the true nature of White Rose’s secret project. All the final pieces are in position, though. Let the show end on a high.

After all, it would contradict some of Mr. Robot‘s overarching themes for the show to be continued only for monetary gain.

We look forward to learning more about Mr. Robot‘s future and unveiling more information about season 4 as time goes on.
