TV producer Dean Devlin has confirmed an exciting addition to the fantasy-adventure TV landscape: a spin-off to the well-loved series, The Librarians.
The Librarians is renowned for its intriguing premise – The Library, a covert storehouse of magical artifacts deemed too perilous for public knowledge or usage. The items within range from Arthur’s legendary sword, Excalibur, to the Borgias’ unique jewelry and a collection of ancient Egyptian art.
Historically, the series has focused on a single Librarian, whose mission is to gather and safeguard these magical artifacts from misuse. However, between 2014-2018, the series’ protocol was revised to include three Librarians-in-Training aiding the primary Librarian. Devlin has yet to disclose the cast of the new spin-off, keeping fans guessing about the potential return of the former ensemble.
The upcoming spin-off, titled The Librarians: The Next Chapter, is set to air on the CW network in the US.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter will introduce a time-traveling Librarian hailing from the past, now marooned in the present. Searching for familiarity, he revisits his former castle, now transformed into a museum. This surprising shift triggers the inadvertent release of magic throughout the continent. Although this spin-off introduces a new protagonist, the storyline leaves room for potential nods to the previous series, including a possible return of Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn) and Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle), who became immortal alongside caretaker Jenkins (John Larroquette). Fans are holding out hope that the former Librarians-in-Training will make cameos or even become co-stars.
As of now, the release date for The Librarians: The Next Chapter remains unannounced.
