PASADENA, Calif. — The creator of “Mr. Robot” promises more twists for the show’s second season, as USA moves to take advantage of two Golden Globe Awards for the freshman drama that is a key part of its strategy to appeal to a younger and hipper audience.

Since the show won the Golden Globe on Sunday for best drama and Christian Slater earned a supporting actor award, USA has had more people seeking information about the series through its website and social media than when the show premiered this past summer, USA Network President Chris McCumber said Thursday.

Episodes of the show with new scenes just became available through video on demand. The network is also premiering what it hopes will be its next buzzworthy series on Thursday, “Colony,” a fable about an occupied Los Angeles.

USA executives knew when they first read scripts for “Mr. Robot” that it was good, but also a risk. Boosted by critical support, the show attracted the young male viewers that USA was seeking, while at the same time not alienating fans of its “NCIS” and “Law & Order: SVU” reruns.

Creator Sam Esmail said the Golden Globe wins were “humbling, flattering and obviously surreal,” but he’s trying not to succumb to pressure or hubris in moving forward.

“Mr. Robot” stars Rami Malek as Elliot, a cyber security expert who’s an underground hacker at night, attacking even his own company. His hacking inspiration, the title character portrayed by Slater, is his long-lost father and turns out to be a figment of Elliot’s imagination. The second season will explore what made the character delusional, Esmail said.
