The Alienist Season 2 has moved up its premiere date
The Alienist Season 2, also known as The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, will now air a little bit earlier, according to a new press release from TNT.
We previously reported that The Alienist Season 2 would debut on July 26, but now fans won’t have to wait quite as long with the series now returning on July 19 with back-to-back episodes premiering at 9 p.m. ET. It will run through August 9.

Now for some good news/bad news. In a desire to give fans extra thrilling television at a faster pace, TNT will be airing two episodes of The Alienist a week. For some people, this might be a good thing since it means fans will be getting extra content on a weekly basis. On the downside, it also means the season will be over much faster.
