The news comes one day after The CW announced that The Wranglers — an eight-part docuseries following the “personal and professional lives of young staff members working at the Circle Bar Dude Ranch in Montana” — will now air after Superman & Lois as of Oct. 24.
The Librarians franchise started off as a series of made-for-TV movies headlined by ER vet Noah Wyle. He played 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, and later recurred on The Librarians, which aired for four seasons on TNT, between 2014 and 2018.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter centers on “a Librarian from the past, who time traveled to the present, and now finds himself stuck here,” according to the official logline. 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.
Callum McGowan (Jamestown) will play Vikram Chamberlin, the Librarian from the year 1847 who breaks the rules and accidentally transports himself to present-day Central Europe. There, he must lead a team of talented young people in securing magical artifacts from those who would abuse them. The question is: Will Vikram keep his oath to the Library (and his new team), or will he attempt to travel back to his own time where unfinished business – and his heart – remain?
Jessica Green (The Outpost) co-stars as Charlie Cornwall — aka the Guardian. “Charlie, having been rejected by the Library to serve as a Guardian – essentially the bodyguard of The Librarian – was at a low point in her life when she got the call to be a ‘special guardian’ on a trial basis,” reads the official character breakdown. “Trained in the military, her dedication and martial art skills are unquestionable. If she can keep the powers that be in line, she can achieve her dream to become a permanent member of the Library.”
Christian Kane, meanwhile, will reprise his role as Jacob Stone on a recurring basis. In The Next Chapter, Stone is “tasked by The Library to mentor and help Charlie find her confidence so she can fulfill her dream of becoming a permanent Guardian.”
