Dakota Fanning's 'Alienist' Character Pushes Boundaries on The Show

Dakota Fanning waves to fans while arriving at Build Series in New York City on Thursday afternoon (January 19).

The actress joined co-stars Luke Evans and Daniel Bruhl to chat about their new TNT series, The Alienist.

“She was written as such a strong woman … [I was drawn to] her ambition and drive to push the buttons of society and what women were allowed to do at that time,” Dakota shared about her character, Sara Howard, the first female detective on the show.

She adds, “It does not relent to those social norms.”

The Alienist premieres on Monday, January 22nd.
