Daniel Bruhl (Rush, Inglorious Bastards, Captain America: Civil War) and Luke Evans (The Girl on The Train, The Hobbit trilogy, Dracula Untold) have been cast in TNT‘s The Alienist, the series based on the Anthony Award-winning New York Times bestseller by Caleb Carr.
Slated to premiere on TNT in late 2017, The Alienist will be directed and executive-produced by BAFTA-nominated director Jakob Verbruggen (“Black Mirror”).
Welsh actor Luke Evans is known for his performance as the heroic Bard the Bowman in Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy The Hobbit.
In addition to his role in The Alienist, Evans will soon be seen in Disney’s highly-anticipated, live-action musical remake of Beauty and the Beast, in which he plays the iconic, swashbuckling Gaston.
