Telly’s Take
Will TNT cancel or renew The Alienist for season three? Angel of Darkness is based on the sequel novel by Caleb Carr. A third book has been published and a fourth, The Alienist at Armageddon, is in the works. So a third season could be based on one of those or, the producers could make an original story. TNT aired two episodes a week and season two’s ratings were quite low so, there’s a good chance there won’t be a third season anyway. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

Status update: The last original episode of The Alienist aired in 2020, so the show has presumably been cancelled.

What do you think? Were you hoping that The Alienist TV show would be renewed for a third season? Are sorry that TNT cancelled this TV series, instead?
Loved it definitely want more
Still hoping there will be a 3rd season on the 3rd book, then a 4th season too, as I absolutely loved the Alienist, max stars from me
I hope there will be a season 3, many more. My friends and I always looked forward to watching the show. Please bring it back.
I loved the show. Wished a third season. One problem is that there was too long a time between season 1 and 2
You are so right too long of a gap between seasons 1 and 2.
I enjoyed the show and was hoping for a season 3. It had a good cast and story. I don’t understand why they have brought it back.
It never fails, a well written, dynamic, thrilling show gets canceled, but the Kardashians live forever…
The first season of The Alienist was definitely the better of the two released seasons. I’m hoping for a third season to redeem this series. The books were wonderful.
PLEASE RENEW IT, MAKE SEASON 3!!!
