Who plays the doctor in Who Killed Sara?

Jean Reno (best known for Léon) is playing a mysterious doctor named Reinaldo, who has a shocking link to Sara's past. Reno is not the only new cast member for Season 3. Fresh from her role in Netflix's Dark Desire, Mexican singer Maite Perroni will cameo in the show.

Who is the psychiatrist in Who Killed Sara?

More from TVLine Instead, Reno's character Reinaldo faked her death and made her patient zero in some sort of bizarre medical experiment he was conducting. The conspiracy behind the experiment was so twisty that Sara's psychiatrist Dr. Hugo Alanis was involved in it, and so was Reinaldo's son, Nicandro.

Why did the doctor kill Sara?

“Sara was killed by Reinaldo in his obsession to experiment on her, but she was also killed by the Lazcano family, by César's abuse of her, by the betrayal of her friend Marifer, by her mother's indolence being unable to help her in time.
