The Librarians: The Next Chapter Trailer Confirms Release Date On TNT With Two-Night Premiere Episodes

The trailer for The Librarians: The Next Chapter confirms the sequel show's release date. The fantasy series centers around a time-traveling librarian from the past who finds himself trapped within the present day. The series is a sequel to the four-season TV series The Librarians, which ran on TNT from 2014 to 2018. The Librarians: The Next Chapter cast includes Callum McGowan, Olivia Morris, Bluey Robinson, Jessica Green, Caroline Loncq, and Adnan Haskovic.

Now, Warner Bros. has released the trailer for The Librarians: The Next Chapter.

The trailer begins with three characters looking into a mysterious door while a voiceover dialogue line says, "There is no such thing as lost souls." It is later revealed that they are time-traveling professionals whose job is to "protect powerful magical objects." On this quest, they must grapple with issues including demons and other evil beings. In addition, the announcement revealed that the show will debut as a two-night premiere event starting on May 25 on TNT.

The end of The Librarians: The Next Chapter trailer frames its protagonists into key roles within their group. Vikram (McGowan), who self-reports to be highly intelligent, is the "librarian." Morris' Lysa Pascal plays the role of "The Scientist," while Robinson's Connor Green is "The Believer" and Green's Charlie is "The Guardian." As the sequel series premieres next month, it will be interesting to see how these character dynamics play out throughout the season.

How To Watch The Librarian Movies In Order

Watching The Librarian movies in order is a good way to truly understand the made-for-TV historical fantasy series about an ancient secret society.

The fantasy elements in the series will also allow The Next Chapter to expand significantly from the previous series. Using an all-new cast, this upcoming TNT series has the potential to be very different from the franchise's first installment. The first series also included supernatural elements, but with a different group of characters and situations, the plotlines for this sequel series could be vastly different from the original show. The trailer also previews the return of Christian Kane as Jacob Stone, who appeared in the original series.

Even with new characters, The Librarians: The Next Chapter still seems to follow the general plot structure of the original series, with its protagonists attempting to project critical objects. Some of the CGI work is witnessed in this trailer, and the visuals are definitely updated from the original series. This makes transformations and mystical elements more believable, which will greatly aid the upcoming sequel series.
