The Librarians: The Next Chapter is an American fantasy-adventure TV series that continues the beloved Librarian franchise. Serving as a direct spin-off from the original Librarian films, the show shares the same universe and storyline continuity with both the movies and the earlier The Librarians television series, expanding the magical world with fresh characters and new adventures.

What Is the Show About?

This past Sunday, the legacy of The Librarians was further established, as a new series, The Librarians: The Next Chapter, made its premiere. A number of episodes in, and the spin-off has carried on the legacy of the original installments within the franchise while attempting to establish itself as its own thing. One of the main figures in the original movies and television show was The Pitt's Noah Wyle, starring as Flynn Carsen in the first movie in 2004's Quest for the Spear, and the subsequent sequels in 2006's Return to King Solomon’s Mines and 2008's Curse of the Judas Chalice, before a four-season stint in the 2014 television series spin-off. So will Wyle's make an appearance in The Next Chapter?

The story of The Librarians, the artifact-protecting heroes, has continued on TNT in the spin-off series, The Librarians: The Next Chapter. The show returned in full force on Sunday, May 25, continuing the legacy laid by the previous installments in the franchise. 2004 was the year which kicked off the franchise with Noah Wyle starring as Flynn Carsen in the movie released that year. Wyle would return for two more movies in 2006 and 2008, before a four-season stint in the 2014 television series spin-off. The Pitt'sWyle has returned for the current spin-off as a producer with Dean Devlin, who wrote Independence Day, serving as showrunner for the project. Now, Devlin has sought to explain how the current show ties into the previous entries into the franchise.

A new set of Librarians, an ancient group that keeps mystical artifacts from falling into the hands of evildoers, is ready to protect Europe, solve murders and meet King Arthur in “The Librarians: The Next Chapter.”

“The Librarians” original star Christian Kane is back (briefly) as Jacob Stone, who brings the newbies up to speed on the fact that yes, there are such things as lost souls, demons and magic.

The Librarians: The Next Chapter thrusts viewers into the shadowy halls of a centuries-old Annex repurposed as a Belgrade museum, where a fresh ensemble of artifact guardians wrestles with spells and smartphones alike. At its heart is Vikram Chamberlain, a 19th-century custodian abruptly yanked into 2025 by a misfired incantation—his disorientation echoes broader cultural frictions between tradition and innovation.

Under Dean Devlin’s stewardship, this spin-off honors the franchise’s heritage while embracing a monster-of-the-week rhythm that recalls the early comfort-food thrills of 1990s fantasy television.

Here, magic coexists with modernity: arcane relics share shelf space with interactive exhibits, and mathematical theorems serve as an unlikely conduit for sorcery. The tone balances earnest wonder and wry self-awareness, inviting both seasoned fans and curious newcomers to appreciate the mechanics of myth in a digital age.

There is great skepticism whenever a reboot or revival of a proven hit series is announced.

Despite being popular, some networks wait and see in the development process before handing out a formal series order.

When The CW confirmed in May 2023 that it had picked up The Librarians: The Next Chapter, it came out of the blue.

For one, the original series was canceled in 2018 by TNT after a four-season run.

There was a big push from the show’s fans and creatives to find it a new home, which sadly didn’t amount to a send-off.

Then, there’s the fact that there was little indication that CW could even afford a sci-fi series, considering it canceled the bulk of its scripted originals around that time.

After taking a $9.1 billion write-down on its linear networks business, in part due to the company’s loss of NBA rights, Warner Bros. Discovery is ramping up its investment in programming for TNT.

The cable network has greenlit “Debriefing the President” (working title), a four-hour miniseries about CIA analyst John Nixon’s 2003 interrogation of Saddam Hussein, in which he learned about the potential consequences of the invasion, the humanitarian horrors and geopolitical turbulences that would follow Saddam’s deposing.

The series is produced by Ar Content and Big Dreams Entertainment for TNT. Alexander Rodnyansky, Joel Kinnaman, Stuart Manashil, Michael Kupisk, Peter Gerwe, Shelley Browning, and Leslie Greif serve as EPs, while Cristi Bostanescu and Eric Tomosunas serve as producers and Krzysztof Skonieczny directs.

TNT has also acquired “The Librarians: The Next Chapter,” a sequel to supernatural adventure series “The Librarians.” The project was initially set to lead The CW’s 2024-25 fall season.

“The Librarians: The Next Chapter” is heading home to TNT.

The spinoff series was originally slated to air on The CW this fall, but it was reported last week that the show had been pulled from the broadcaster’s schedule.

Now, the Wall Street Journal reports that the series will air on TNT instead. It marks a homecoming of sorts for the series, which serves as a followup to the series “The Librarians,” which was itself a spinoff of the “Librarian” TNT film series starring Noah Wyle. The original series aired for four seasons, while there were three entries in the film series.

No premiere date for “The Next Chapter” has been set at the time of this publishing. As with the original series and films, the show centers on the people responsible for maintaining the mythical Library, which serves as a storehouse for powerful and dangerous artifacts.

The Librarians: The Next Chapter may not feature Noah Wyle, despite a conversation about potentially bringing him in for one idea. The CW executive affirms that Wyle didn't pass on any opportunity to reprise the role. So far, Christian Kane is the only confirmed original cast member who will appear in the new spinoff.

The CW boss Brad Schwartz addresses any chance of Noah Wyle's appearance in the upcoming show The Librarians: The Next Chapter. The Librarians franchise started in 2004 with three TV movies starring Wyle as the titular character, Flynn Carsen, before the direct spinoff TV show debuted on TNT in 2014. Also starring Christian Kane, Rebecca Romijn, and Lindy Booth, the show followed a secret organization that protects the world from a magical alternate reality. More than five years after the show ended, the CW announced that spinoff show The Librarians: The Next Chapter was in development with a new main cast.
