A new TV tie-in paperback edition of The Alienist was released last week by Random House in anticipation of TNT’s upcoming adaptation due to premiere on January 22nd. The new cover features the three stars of the show — Daniel Bruhl as Dr Kreizler, Dakota Fanning as Sara Howard, and Luke Evans as John Moore — along with some of the key artefacts featured in the case. A copy of the cover can be seen to the right.
In addition, a third trailer for the adaptation of The Alienist was released last week as well. As with the previous trailers, it’s clear that this will be a dark and atmospheric adaptation. I would be curious to know what long time readers of the Alienist books feel about the trailers that have been released so far. How do you feel about the changes that are evident from the trailers that have been released so far? Are you looking forward to the adaptation?
Will there be either a sequel or prequel to “the Alieniat” following the wrap-up or end of this 10 episode mini-series? I have watched each episode and have become rather addicted to the plot and characters and would love to see the character’s lives prior to the Alienist’s time period and also their lives later. Please do me a favor and the countries viewership of this a favor and do continue with either the prequel or sequel or even better, both. Thank you.
If you are able to edit my comment, I misspelled Alienist and instead typed Alieniat…if you can correct this, please do so as I noticed it too late. Thank you.
I am so disappointed in the TV series. I LOVED the book and so looked forward to the show. I think it fell flat and missed the drama and intrigue of the book.
I am now reading Angel of Darkness. I enjoy your books very much. Please keep writing.
