Stars of TNT’s The Alienist: Angel of Darkness (Daniel Brühl, Luke Evans, Dakota Fanning) gather at Paley Front Row 2020 to celebrate their show. Topics include: the trio’s tight camaraderie on and off the set, including fun weekends in Budapest; recreating 19th-century NYC with detailed sets and backgrounds; Fanning’s interest in Sara as a determined “modern woman”; Evans’ empathy for John’s personal demons and his desire to help others; Laszlo’s bond with Sara and hints about his new “kindred spirit” in season two; the show’s surprising parallels to the social topics of 2020; the relief of finding “intelligent entertainment” during the lockdown; the eternal mysteries of the human mind; and the cast’s thoughts on a potential season three and beyond.
