So, now we know the show returns on Sunday, July 19th at 9pm ET. Also returning are stars Daniel Brühl (Rush), Luke Evans (Midway) and Dakota Fanning (Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood). We will also see Douglas Smith (Big Little Lies) and Matthew Shear (Mistress America) as twin brothers Marcus and Lucius Isaacson; Robert Ray Wisdom (The Wire) as Cyrus; and Ted Levine (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) as former NYPD Police Commissioner Thomas Byrnes reprise their roles from Season 1. Joining the cast for Season 2 will be Melanie Field (Heathers) and Rosy McEwen.

Here is the synopsis released by TNT: “In The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, Sara has opened her own private detective agency and is leading the charge on a brand-new case. She reunites with Dr. Kreizler, the formidable alienist, and John Moore, now a New York Times reporter, to find Ana Linares, the kidnapped infant daughter of the Spanish Consular. Their investigation leads them down a sinister path of murder and deceit, heading towards a dangerous and elusive killer.

As in The Alienist, the series shines a light on the provocative issues of the era – the corruption of institutions, income inequality, yellow press sensationalism, and the role of women in society – themes that still resonate today.”
