Presto in September

MR. ROBOT all episodes and Mrs. Brown’s Boys, exclusive to Presto; plus hits Heroes, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation set to arrive

Presto today announced key programming streaming in September, starting with the finale of MR. ROBOT season one which will be added this week (September 4). Described as “The Social Network meets ‘Occupy Wall Street’”, MR. ROBOT follows Elliot (Rami Malek, The Pacific), a young computer programmer who works as a cyber-security engineer by day and as a vigilante hacker by night.
Also coming in Presto is a collection of the best programming from NBCUniversal, including:
· Mrs. Brown’s Boys (seasons 1-3) – a comedy series telling the story of an Irish matriarch, whose favourite pastime is meddling in the lives of her children;
· 30 Rock (seasons 1-7) – an American comedy that follows Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) as the head writer for a live comedy show in New York as she juggles the egos of an increasingly erratic cast;
· Heroes (seasons 1-4) – explores the lives of ordinary people who discover superhuman abilities, and how these abilities take effect in the characters’ lives against a backdrop of good vs. evil;
· Grimm (seasons 1-2) – introduces homicide detective Nick Burkhardt, a descendent from a long ancestry of ‘Grimms’, not just fairy tale story tellers, but hunters charged with protecting humanity from supernatural creatures;
· Parks and Recreation (seasons 1-5) – an American sit-com filmed in the same pseudo-documentary style of ‘The Office’ and set in the dysfunctional parks department of a fictitious American town.
