TNT orders sequel to 'The Alienist' with 'The Angel of Darkness' limited series
'The Angel of Darkness' will be based on Caleb Carr's best-selling novel of the same name and follow the events in 'The Alienist.'
TNT will follow-up on its hit period drama series 'The Alienist' with a sequel. The network has ordered 'The Angel of Darkness,' which will be a new limited series that, similar to its predecessor, will be based on Caleb Carr's best-selling novel of the same name.
Described as "an unflinching, turn-of-the-century murder mystery," 'The Alienist' followed the story of Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Daniel Brühl), a brilliant and obsessive "alienist" in the controversial field of treating mental pathologies. Set amidst the underbelly of New York City's 'Gilded Age,' Kreizler was shown to be relentless in his pursuit of a never-before-seen ritualistic killer murdering young boys.
