Return of "The Librarians" Series to its Original Network, TNT
Alright, listen up! A decade ago, TNT dropped the mic with "The Librarians," a spin-off from a series of TV movies on the same channel that quickly gathered a passionate fanbase. The show's ending in 2018 left many craving more, but here's some good news: The Librarians are comin' back, and they're reuniting with their original home network.
Just last week, Electric Entertainment announced "Librarians: The Next Chapter" will grace TNT screens in 2025. Originally planned for the CW, the show was mysteriously yanked off the schedule for reasons unknown. Damn shame, too, as TNT is jumping on the opportunity with both feet, already green-lighting a second 12-episode season while the first is still in post-production.
"Next Chapter" revolves around a medieval Librarian (played by Callum McGowan) who somehow zooms his arse to our present. After awakening some magical artifacts from a museum, he'll be forced to team up with a new crew to set things straight. Jessica Green, Olivia Morris, and Bluey Robinson join the cast, with Christian Kane reprising his role as Jacob Stone in a guest spot sometime during the series.
Franchise producer Dean Devlin called the move a massive victory, praising TNT for standing by fans by giving them another crack at a beloved series. Devlin credited longtime general manager Sam Linsky, who apparently championed the Librarians "from day one," for persuading him to bring "Next Chapter" from the CW to TNT.
So, mark your calendars, backpackers! "Librarians: The Next Chapter" is set to return to TNT in 2025. If you're aching for more sci-fi and fantasy news, check out the latest on Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, the DC Universe, and Doctor Who.
