The new release date is one week earlier than its previously scheduled July 26 premiere.
The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Trailer
Along with the release date comes the first Alienist: Angel of Darkness trailer. There’s so much going on here that it almost makes up for the nearly two-year wait.
The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Cast
The main cast will return for The Alienist season 2, aka Angel of Darkness. This includes the aformentioned Daniel Brühl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning. It will also include Douglas Smith as Marcus Isaacson, Matthew Shear as Lucius Isaacson, Robert Ray Wisdom as Cyrus, and Ted Levine as former NYPD Police Commissioner Thomas Byrnes. There’s no word yet on the inclusion of season 1’s Brian Geraghty as Theodore Roosevelt or Matt Lintz as Stevie Taggert.
New cast members include Melanie Field and Rosy McEwen in undisclosed roles. This addition of a few more female characters should be helpful, especially following the disappointing death of Q’orianka Kilcher’s Mary Palmer in Season 1.
The Angel of Darkness novel includes the addition of some more historic figures, including lawyer Clarence Darrow, women’s rights leader Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and painter Albert Pinkham Ryder.
