The second season, aka Angel of Darkness, takes place in New York City in 1897 where Sara Howard (Fanning) has opened a pioneering private detective agency.

Season Two Ratings

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.

Great series. TNT should be renewed for a third and fourth season. Well fleshed out characters along with excellent story lines.
An excellent series. TNT should have a third season and a fourth, should another book be published. Excellent presentation of the period and heart breaking love stories. Could not stop watching.
I thought the Alienist was fantastic and my wife and I hope tnt brings it back for third season!

Love love to have season 3. Don’t think enough advertising for 2. 2 shows each week also too quick
