TNT reads up on The Librarians: The Next Chapter

TRAILER: Callum McGowan, Jessica Green, Olivia Morris and Bluey Robinson take the lead in The Librarians: The Next Chapter, a spin-off of fantasy series The Librarians launching on US cable network TNT on May 25.

The Librarians followed the adventures of the custodians of a magical repository of the world’s most powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts.

Produced by Electric Entertainment, The Librarians: The Next Chapter centres on Vikram Chamberlain (McGowan), a “Librarian” from the past who time traveled from 1847 and now finds himself stuck in the present. When Vikram returns to his castle in Belgrade, Serbia, and discovers it is now a museum, he inadvertently releases magic across the continent.

With the help of a new team of eclectic heroes, including a savant in world history, a scientific genius, and a highly skilled Guardian, Vikram has only six months to clean up the mess he made.

Throughout the season, the team will embark on fantastical adventures, including a surprise reroute to a manor where Agatha Christie-styled murders take place, a time-travel back to the days of King Arthur at Camelot and even an encounter with the first-ever vampire.

The 12-part series stars McGowan (Jamestown), Green (The Outpost), Morris (Hotel Portofino) and Robinson (Britannia). Caroline Loncq (Mammals) guest stars. Christian Kane will reprise his role as Jacob Stone in a guest role.

Dean Devlin is the showrunner and executive producer alongside Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment. Noah Wyle is the producer. Mark Franco of Electric Entertainment and Jonathan English of Balkanic Media also produce.
