Fortunately, create Sam Esmail offered a clue on what to watch out for next season.
What Could Be Leon's Role In 'Mr Robot' Season 3?
It now appears that when "Mr Robot" Season 3 release date comes next year, the one character that fans need to pay attention to really well is Leon. The recent Twitter post by the show's official account said as much.
But what role could Leon be playing in "Mr Robot" Season 3? In the season 2 finale, Leon met with Trenton and Tobley and asked them "Do you have the time?" Of course, fans speculations about his action have multiplied, more so now that show creator Sam Esmail specifically mentioned the character. Is Leon carrying some important message from Elliot, to be revealed in the coming "Mr Robot" Season 3 release date? And more importantly, is he their friend or foe?

Ecorp was modeled after Enron, the energy giant that was embroiled in a scandal that ultimately led to its bankruptcy.
