In May, The CW announced that they were picking up The Librarians sequel for the Fall. But then, last week, the broadcast network announced that The Wranglers was replacing The Librarians: The Next Chapter. However, they did not say when the Sci-Fi procedural would air.
Today, we found out that the series was picked up by its original network, TNT aired the franchise’s three movies and four seasons, which starred Noah Wyle and Rebecca Romijn.
According to Deadline, TNT, who got out of the scripted business, is getting back into it with this show and Debriefing The President.
I think what TNT is doing is dynamite! The Next Chapter will do much better on their network than on The CW.
Back in May, The CW announced that they were doing a sequel to The Librarians.
The Librarians: The Next Chapter was slated to debut on October 24th at 9p. However, yesterday, the network, said that the reality show, The Wranglers, will be airing in that time slot.
What does that mean for the Sci-Fi show? According to Variety, the sequel series is on hold indefinitely. However, no reason was given.
And for those who are curious about The Wranglers, here is what it is about. “THE WRANGLERS will rope viewers into this captivating real world set against the backdrop of Big Sky Country,” said Heather Olander, Head of Unscripted Programming, The CW Network. “Fans love the drama of the bunkhouse on the scripted hit ‘Yellowstone,’ and now we’re bringing it to life in this series. Audiences will instantly fall in love with the hard-working and passionate cowboys and cowgirls that work the ranch as their stories of romance, friendship and conflict unfold.”
Even though The CW has new owners, Nexstar, and is a shell of what it used to be, the network is keeping to its traditional October launch for its Fall schedule.
Today, The CW announced the premiere dates for its new and returning shows:
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1
8:00-10:00PM WWE NXT (Network Premiere)
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2
8:00-9:00PM SULLIVAN’S CROSSING (Season 2 Premiere)
9:00-10:00PM JOAN (Series Premiere)
All American: Homecoming’s third season will debut on July 8th. However, today, it was announced that this season will be the show’s last.
“I’m devastated to learn that All American: Homecoming will not be moving forward with more episodes and that this new season premiering in July will be our final one,” said the show’s EP Nkechi Okoro Carroll in a statement. “However, I am so very grateful to have worked with this incredible cast and crew, led by Geffri Maya, to bring the authentic HBCU experience to your screens for the last three seasons. We made this show for the culture and thank our loyal audience and fans for taking this ride with us. We made this show so that our community, our kids (and their dreams), could be seen and celebrated every week and we are proud to say we accomplished that mission — especially with this exciting final season which we can’t wait to show you all. So with a heavy but proud heart, I give one final shoutout to our favorite Bringston Lions!”
With this news, that means that All American is the show still standing from pre-Nexstar days.
The CW will have a scripted show from The CW on its air in 2025.
Nexstar bought The CW and, in a little over a year, canceled almost all of the shows before they acquired the network.
It looked like we were not going to be left with any shows from the old regime, but today, they picked up All American for a 12-episode 7th season to air in 2025.
“A strong Fall is going to lead into an even stronger 2025 on The CW as new seasons of ALL AMERICAN, PENN & TELLER: FOOL US and THE CHOSEN join NASCAR Xfinity Series, WWE NXT, ACC football & basketball, Pac-12 football, ‘Wild Cards,’ ‘Superman & Lois,’ ‘The Librarians,’ ‘Inside the NFL,’ ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ and much more,” said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network. “Through six seasons, ALL AMERICAN remains a top-performer for The CW as the network’s most-watched series across all linear and digital platforms. PENN & TELLER: FOOL US continues to be appointment television for families over a decade into its run. And we are thrilled to continue our partnership with THE CHOSEN and bring the latest season of this groundbreaking drama exclusively to broadcast audiences across the country.”
Penn & Teller, another CW show, will be back for season 11.
