‘The Alienist’ Leaves the Door Open for Season 2!!

Newspaper illustrator John Moore meets with the criminal psychologist ( alienist) Dr. Laszlo Kreizler to investigate a serial killer in New York during the late 19th century, After months of research, late nights, stakeouts, and diving into dark psyches, “ The Alienist” investigative team finally finds their man … and then promptly loses him when a rogue police officer shoots and kills him.

It’s a frustrating outcome for all involved, but most especially Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Daniel Brühl), whose work profiling the killer feels incomplete.Since none of the main characters have died and Carr has written a second novel in the “ Alienist” series, “The Angel of Darkness,” the show could conceivably come back. There’s no word yet though if there will be a second season, much less one that follows that story.

Swedlin said, “We love the characters, and our goal when we set out to make the show was to tell the story of the book, which has a finite ending when they catch Beecham. At the moment, there are no plans for a further installment, but the whole process has been a great joy. So, who knows? And if those costumes are still available, I wouldn’t mind having one of them. I love the men’s suits as much as Dakota’s costumes.”
