"Mr. Robot" season 2 will feature a virtual reality (VR) scene, proving that the award-winning series just gets better and better and that it keeps up with the latest tech and innovations.

NBC Universal Cable Entertainment chief content officer, Jeff Wachtel revealed the news via Variety. Discussing the scene while remaining coy about it, he said, "It's really about storytelling. It's intimate and about the characters."

It comes as no shock that "Mr. Robot" season 2 will boast a VR scene, especially since show creator Sam Esmail has repeatedly made known his plans about telling the story in visually.

"I am so very specific in how I want to shoot the show and the visual grammar of how I want to tell the story," Esmail told the same publication earlier this year.

Esmail is very particular when it comes to visual and cinematic quality, as what he pointed out in a Digital Trends interview back in January. With a VR scene include in "Mr. Robot" season 2, Esmail appears to be taking his visions to a whole new level.

The said publication believes that "Mr. Robot" season 2 will no doubt start the VR trend to the small screen, something that definitely excites fans of TV.

Spoiler Alert! The following contains spoilers regarding the first season of "Mr. Robot." Proceed only those who watched the season 1 finale.

In "Mr. Robot" season 2, Elliot (Rami Malek) will come to terms that his friend Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) only exists in his mind.

"Mr. Robot" season 2 is also expected to see the return of drug dealer Shayla (Frankie Shaw) who died in the previous season and the debut of a new character to be played by Aasif Mandvi.
