The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, the second season of the hit TNT series, is premiering this summer and the official trailer was just released!

Daniel Bruhl, Dakota Fanning, and Luke Evans reprise their roles in the new season of the series, which will premiere on July 26.

The Alienist: Angel of Darkness will take the time slot of the new series Snowpiercer, which will have its season finale one week earlier.

The first season followed Dr. Laszlo Kreizler (Brühl), a brilliant and obsessive “alienist” in the controversial new field of treating mental pathologies. In the first season, Dr. Kreizler was relentless in his pursuit of a never-before-seen ritualistic killer murdering young boys. He was joined by newspaper illustrator John Moore (Evans) and Sara Howard (Fanning), an ambitious secretary determined to become the city’s first female police detective.

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.

Earlier this year, Luke went Instagram official with his hot boyfriend!

Daniel Bruhl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning are returning to television for the upcoming limited series The Angel of Darkness, a sequel to their TNT series The Alienist.

The sequel series will be based on author Caleb Carr‘s sequel novel of the same name.

“We could not be prouder of The Alienist’s outstanding, award-worthy performance and all of the work the incredible actors and crew put in to bring that story and time period to life,” said Sarah Aubrey, executive vice president of original programming for TNT (via Deadline). “Our audience fell in love with these multi-dimensional, timeless characters and the journey of their struggles living in complicated times. With this new story in TNT’s Suspense Collection, we will further immerse viewers into their world as they are confronted with a new enemy.”

The Alienist earned six Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Limited Series.

Daniel Bruhl, Dakota Fanning, and Luke Evans meet up at the premiere of their new TNT series The Alienist during the 2018 Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 19) in Park City, Utah.
