LOS ANGELES — Mr. Robot just got a little more meta.

The show's fictional Anonymous-style collective, fsociety, hacked the USA show's Facebook Page Thursday as part of a globally coordinated marketing campaign.

The uploaded video contains a global message against Evil Corp, followed by a minute-and-a-half clip of the Season 2 premiere. 

The clip is a flashback of stars Rami Malek and Martin Wallström minutes before their characters, Elliot and Tyrell Wellick, executed the 5/9 hack on Evil Corp. 

The international marketing campaign, which will be on Facebook Live between Thursday and Friday across 13 countries, has customized “rants” in each territory, delivered in the region’s native tongue.

Season 2 of Mr. Robot, which will be 12 episodes, picks up 30 days after fsociety's 5/9 hack. It premieres July 13.
