The Alienist Season two entitled Alienist: The Angel of Darkness was supposed to be released in 2020 but the date of its release has not been confirmed yet. The same cast is expected to return to the second season including Daniel Bruhl as Dr Laszlo Kreizler, Luke Evans as John Moore, Dakota Fanning as Sara Howard and many more. However new characters would also be introduced. The plot will introduce a lot, many new women following the death of Q’orianka Kilcher Mary Palmer in the first season.
Every episode in the 10 episode season one is like a small feature film because of the production value as immensely high. The Alienist is a dark drama which cannot be watched one after another episode as one needs time to absorb the content watched.
Frank Pugliese has been announced as the showrunner as it is believed that he’ll be able to do justice to Caleb Carr’s popular sequel with his unique skills and make the second season a huge success.

While searching for the missing child they come across a mysterious woman with a murderous past and a past connection with the notorious gang.
