The Alienist is presumed to have been cancelled, so there won’t be a third season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
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?
Season 3 please
PLEASE don’t cancel this show. It has been the only thing that I’ve looked forward to during this pandemic, and I absolutely love it — the theme, the actors, and the impeccable staging and costumes. There is no show that compares to it. Bring us Seasoon 3 — please!
I hope the Alienist is renewed. I’ve enjoyed watching both seasons. It’s so original and the actors are really doing a fantastic job at being believable. Lets hope TNT makes another year. It would probably help the series if TNT were
to advertise the series more if they do have a third year.
Please do a season three. Love this show

I love the show
I think it should definitely come beck. Maybe people didn’t watch it this season because of Covid 19, people more worried about their families and staying alive then watching tv. I’m a tv buff and I even watched a lot less tv. This is a great show and I really hope that it comes back.
