Warning: spoilers ahead for Wednesday's season-two premiere of "Mr. Robot."

The surprise hit and critical favorite of 2015, "Mr. Robot" has fans chomping at the bit for more information about what's to come when the hacking drama series returns on Wednesday.

Don't worry, we have some details.

Creator Sam Esmail and his stars appeared at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier this year and gave us an early glimpse of what's to come.

Here are nine things we know about season two:

Sam Esmail is taking the quick route through the TV business. It's especially rare for a first-time creator to run their show, too, which he does. But on season two, he's added another hat: full-time director. He doesn't mind the extra work and said he's not the greatest collaborator.

"The show’s look is so singular," he said. "It’s actually going to be easier for me."

 

 

 

There will be a time jump.

Season two won't pick up from the first season's finale.

"I will give you this," Esmail told Business Insider. "It will open up 30 days after the first season ended."

There will be some (but not total) clarity about season one and the storyline.

Now that Elliot (Rami Malek) is aware of his mental breakdowns, season two will begin the task of clarifying events and the order in which they happened.

"I will say there will be a lot more backstory," Esmail said. "The timeline is going to get a little clearer, not a lot clearer, but clearer... This series is filling in the blanks of this character, the past, the present, and the future. That’s how I’m approaching every season."
