Well, it feels like you can officially file the following under “things that we are incredibly shocked about”: It appears as though Craig Robinson has been cast for a recurring role on the upcoming second season of USA’s “Mr. Robot”.

Robinson will star as a neighborhood local to series star Rami Malek, said network officials.

USA Network’s “Mr. Robot” continues to add to its cast for its upcoming second season. She’s excellent on the show, and it’ll be exciting to see her unleashed a bit more in season two. Corneliussen, playing the role of Joanna, the wife of Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallstrom), was a guest in The CW’s “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”. Rapper Joey Bada$$ will play Leon, a new close friend of Elliot’s. As for Conroy, he’ll play a young suitor in Joanna’s life.

Filming on the second season officially kicked off Monday in New York City, and creator Sam Esmail shared a photo to mark the occasion. Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, Grace Gummer, Michael Cristofer and Stephanie Corneliussen also star.
