Watch: Christian Slater Makes Big Return to TV in "Mr. Robot"

Get ready television junkies, we just found your latest obsession. 

Mr. Robot is USA Network's hottest new psychological thriller that follows a political anarchist (Christian Slater) as he recruits a young computer hacker (Rami Malek) to take down evil corporate powers at large. 

The hunky co-stars opened up to E! News back in May at the NBCU Upfronts about what viewers can expect from the hot new drama. 

"It is binge worthy," 34-year-old Malek explained. "We're halfway through shooting the first season and I always can't wait to get to the next episode and start working on it. It's a really tight knit story."

"USA took a big chance on making a really edgy, relevant, timely show that really attacks society the way this does and makes us think about how much technology is influencing our lives... It's different than anything else," Malek continued.

Yep, already hooked! 

Slater also revealed why he's making the move back to TV with Mr. Robot.

"Everything I love is on TV. It's incredible..." the 45-year-old actor said. "It almost feels like the new independent cinema world. You get the opportunity to tell a full story and work with great actors and get to really play some interesting characters. I really think there's no difference between TV and independent film and movies."

Mr. Robot premieres on the USA Network on June 24 at 10 p.m.

(E! Online and USA are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
