Description:
The Alienist
is an American period drama television series based on the 1994
novel of the same name by Caleb Carr. The ten-episode limited series
first aired on TNT January 2018.
The series stars Daniel
Brühl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning as an ad hoc team assembled in
mid-1890s New York City to investigate a serial killer who is
murdering street children. The series incorporates fact with fiction
by including the characters that are historical figures, such as
Theodore Roosevelt, who held the post of police commissioner from
1895 to 1897.
On August 16, 2018, TNT ordered a sequel series
based upon the 1997 follow-up novel The Angel of Darkness.
The second season, titled The Alienist: Angel of
Darkness, premiered July 2020.
An unflinching
psychological thriller amidst the underbelly of New York City’s
“Gilded Age,” The Alienist follows Laszlo Kreizler (Brühl), a
brilliant and obsessive “Alienist” in the controversial new field of
treating mental pathologies, who holds the key to hunting down a
never-before-seen ritualistic killer murdering young boys.
In the second season, set a year later, Sara has opened
her private detective agency. She, Kreizler, and now–New York Times
reporter Moore team up to find the Spanish consul's kidnapped infant
daughter. Their investigation puts them on a path of another elusive
killer, while showcasing institutional corruption, income
inequality, yellow journalism, and the role of women in 1890s
society.
