The effects of the downfall of Evil Corp. to the society was featured in the latest full length trailer of "Mr. Robot" season 2.

In the trailer, US President Barack Obama himself told the nation that fsociety's large scale hacking has a devastating effect in the country.

"There hasn't been anything like this in the past," Obama said in what appears to be a cameo appearance in the series. "This is going to be affecting our economy in ways that are extraordinarily significant."

The president also blamed Evil Corp.'s ruthless Senior Vice President Tyrell Wellick (Martin Wallström) for being part of the catastrophic event. This could mean that the government will run after him and the entire fsociety, including lead character Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek).

Meanwhile, Elliot's sister and another fsociety member Darlene (Carly Chaikin) is worried about how to continue what they have started and how to make sure that their supporters worldwide know that the group's cause is not yet over.

"We meant what we said about changing the world," Darlene said in the trailer.

But the biggest threat for the second season of "Mr. Robot" is actually happening inside Elliot's mind, as the illusion of Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) warned him that "there is more work to be done." He also reminded Elliot that the "revolution needs a leader." But is he up for the challenge?

The synopsis for the sophomore season of "Mr. Robot" reads:

"Mr. Robot follows Elliot Alderson, a young cyber-security engineer who becomes involved in the underground hacker group fsociety after being recruited by their mysterious leader. Following fsociety's hack on multi-national company Evil Corp, the second season will explore the consequences of that attack as well as the illusion of control."

USA Network will release the premiere episode of "Mr. Robot" season 2 on July 13.
