"We all got on very well, and I think it was a very rewarding experience for all of us as actors. We're very proud of what we've created," Evans said on whether the cast would return for another season.
"It's a story about immigration, it's about embracing new ideas, or being afraid of new ideas, and that's something I think still matters today," The Alienist executive producer and director Jakob Verbruggen said on what drew him to the project.
"There are still problems that were a problem back in 1896. It's a very powerful moment in our industry, and I think we'll never go back to the way it was," Evans said of the Time's Up movement.

"I've always been drawn into darkness, so I've always loved to read dark material, ever since I was a teenager," said Bruhl on being drawn to the thrilling drama series.
After the three franchise movie stars — Daniel Bruhl (Captain America), Dakota Fanning (Twilight) and Luke Evans (Fast and the Furious) — joined TNT's dark thriller that premiered in December, The Alienist has become the network's most watched current original series.
