The spinoff of the popular series The Librarians has finally gotten a release date. The new show, accurately called The Librarians: The Next Chapter will start turning its pages this fall on the CW.
The network announced at their upfront presentation today that the show would air right after the final season of Superman & Lois on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. We unfortunately don’t know when exactly in the fall the show will start, so it’s best to set a calendar reminder to go off after Labor Day to find out when that first Thursday will roll around.
Here’s the synopsis of the new show:
The Librarians: The Next Chapter is a spinoff of the original TV series The Librarians, which followed the adventures of the custodians of a magical repository of the world’s most powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts. The new series centers on Vikram (Callum McGowan), a “Librarian” from the past, who time traveled to the present and now finds himself stuck here. 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.
In addition to McGowan, Jessica Green will also star in the show as a Guardian named Charlie Cornwall. Other cast members include Olivia Morris as Lysa Pascal, the Scientist and Bluey Robinson as Connor Green, the Historian. Dean Devlin (The Ark) is on board as showrunner.
We also have two first look photos of the show, which you can see above and below.
