As mentioned previously, the show clearly goes to lengths to ensure a sense of realism within the world (while still allowing for the necessary dramatic leaps of TV), and that's going to be the case again in Season 2, with the FBI consulting on the show.

Esmail has been working with the Bureau's Cyber Crime unit to ensure authenticity and accuracy, and some of the plots have actually been inspired real FBI stories.

In addition to that, Grace Gummer - known for roles on The Newsroom and American Horror Story: Freak Show - will be playing an FBI agent investigating the Evil Corp hack carried out by Elliot and fsociety.
