The horrific shootings in Virginia, where a TV reporter and photographer were killed by a former colleague and another woman was wounded, have prompted USA to postpone tonight's season finale of Mr. Robot.
"The previously filmed season finale of Mr. Robot contains a graphic
scene similar in nature to today's tragic events in Virginia," the
network said 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 Mr. Robot season finale will instead air next Wednesday, Sept. 2,
at 10 p.m. ET. The network noted that the episode will run "in its
entirety," meaning it will not edit out the scene in question. Tonight,
USA will substitute a repeat of the show's ninth episode, which aired
last week.
Mr. Robot has been this summer's most buzzed-about new show. USA took
an unconventional approach when it launched the series, releasing the
pilot several weeks early on almost every digital platform. The network's efforts paid off, as it quickly renewed the series for a second season even before the first one debuted.
