'Mr. Robot' Finale Delayed One Week Due to WDBJ7 Shooting

The USA Network has decided to delay the season finale of its hit series Mr. Robot in wake of the tragic shooting that took the lives of two WDBJ7 employees live on air on Wednesday (August 26) in Moneta, Virginia.

“The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robot contains a graphic scene similar in nature to today’s tragic events in Virginia,” the network told JustJared.com in a statement. “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.”

The season finale will now air next Wednesday, September 2, @ 10/9c.

Our thoughts are still with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
