The Alienist Season 2 Plot
The first season was based on the crime thriller novel ‘The Alienist’ by Caleb Carr. The second season will be based on the sequel of that novel titled ‘The Angel of Darkness’. The sequel is also authored by Carr. Both novels were bestsellers in their times.
In the second season, we shall see Sarah Howard as a private investigator. She seeks the help of Dr. Kreizler to trace a child of a Spanish official who has been kidnapped. However, we may expect a few deviations from this storyline if the show strictly doesn’t follow the plot of Carr’s sequel novel.
No official trailer for season 2 is out yet. But the fans are very excited about the much-awaited season 2 and hope the coronavirus pandemic doesn’t push back the release dates.
