'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Update: "Mr. Robot" Creator Sam Esmail ‘Determined To Put Whiterose In The Second Season; First Table Read In March

'Mr. Robot' Season 2 Update: The cast of "Mr. Robot," Rami Malek (Elliot), Christian Slater (Edward/Mr. Robot), Portia Doubleday (Angela) and Carly Chaikin (Darlene) will have a table reading session in March.

Mr. Robot" guest star B.D. Wong has teased a few details about his return on the USA show as Whiterose. "Mr. Robot" creator Sam Esmail wants him back.

"[Esmail is] determined to put Whiterose in the second season," "Mr. Robot" guest star B.D. Wong told Zap2It. "I think it's safe to say Whiterose is going to be in it more than she was in it the first season. But how much more is not clear to me."

"What Sam is starting is some kind of an exploration of an even deeper understanding of that identity. There is some reason why Whiterose is the creature that she is," Wong told Vulture.

"There is a reason none of us yet know. Sam probably does. And that reason would have to do with the understanding of self-identity, or someone else's perception of someone's identity."

"Mr. Robot" season 1 ended with Whiterose, played by B.D. Wong, a party being thrown by E Corp. CEO Philip Price (Michael Cristofer) after the credits rolled. But Whiterose looked very different from the person Elliot (Rami Malek) met in a previous episode.

B.D. Wong's Whiterose appeared to be a man until Mr. Robot Season 1 episode 8 turned out to be a transgender. Series creator Sam Esmail is bringing the character back.

"He was so amazing in the first season, I would be stupid not to use him more this season," Esmail told reporters at the Television Critics Association Press Tour.

"He's got such a great mystery around him."

"What Sam is starting is some kind of an exploration of an even deeper understanding of that identity," B.D. Wong told Vulture magazine.

"There is some reason why Whiterose is the creature that she is. There is a reason none of us yet know. Sam probably does. And that reason would have to do with the understanding of self-identity, or someone else's perception of someone's identity."

"Mr. Robot" season 2 airs this summer.
