The Librarians: The Next Chapter had been set to air on The CW. However, when the network released its fall schedule, the series was nowhere to be seen. The CW had elected to let go of the series. The Librarians: The Next Chapter has found a home on its original network, TNT. This follows the broadcaster’s revamped desire to wade into scripted programming barely two years after it canceled all its scripted shows. Details about when the show debuts have not been released yet.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter is the next iteration in The Librarians universe, which started with made-for-TV movies in 2004. The movies featured the titular librarian Flynn Carsen in 2004’s Quest for the Spear, 2006’s Return to King Solomon’s Mines, and 2008’s Curse of the Judas Chalice. Following the success of films, TNT picked up the concept in series format, and The Librarians TV series was born. It aired for four seasons between 2014 and 2018. It followed the adventures of the custodians of a magical repository of the world’s most powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts. According to the official description (below), the upcoming spinoff will take fans through more thrilling tales of the Librarian as he tackles new challenges.
The new series centers on a “Librarian” from the past, who time traveled to the present and now finds himself stuck here. When he returns to his castle, which is now a museum, he inadvertently releases magic across the continent. He is given a new team to help him clean up the mess he made, forming a new team of Librarians.
