The CW picked up a third incarnation of The Librarians. However, they changed their mind.
So, when TNT, which aired the last version of the show about a special group of Librarians who protect the world from misused magic, heard that, they knew they had to save it! So they did.
Today, the network released the first look of The Librarians: The Next Chapter. The magical drama centers around Vikram Chamberlain (Callum 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 that 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 universe of The Librarians has expanded and we are so excited to present this exciting Season of The Next Chapter!” said Dean Devlin, Executive Producer and Director. “We’re confident the fans will fall in love with these new characters and that a whole new audience will be seduced into this wonderful and magical world.”
The Librarians: The Next Chapter will debut with a two-night event starting on May 25th!
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.
Charles Barkley announced that he was retiring from TNT Sports. But today, he took it back.
The NBA legend said, “I love my TNT Sports family. My #1 priority has been and always will be our people and keeping everyone together for as long as possible. We have the most amazing people, and they are the best at what they do. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with them both on the shows we currently have and new ones we develop together in the future. This is the only place for me. I have to say … I’ve been impressed by the leadership team who is fighting hard and have been aggressive in adding new properties to TNT Sports, which I am very excited about. I appreciate them and all of my colleagues for their continued support, and most importantly our fans. I’m going to give my all as we keep them entertained for years to come.”
Barkley, who signed a 10-year deal in 2022, will be entering his 25th year next season.
I wonder how much they paid him to stay. Whatever it was, it was worth it.
Next year will be the 50th anniversary of Welcome Back, Kotter. But we don’t have to wait that long to see a reunion between two of the Swaathogs.
Yesterday, at the TCM Film Festival screening to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Pulp Fiction, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, 70, decided to surprise his friend John Travolta, 70. So when Freddie Washington saw his buddy on the red carpet, he boomed-boomed his way over to Vinnie Barbarino. And it was like no time had passed for the old classmates.
I love moments like this and wish they would happen more often. The only thing that would’ve made their encounter perfect is if Travolta had said, “Up your nose with a rubber hose!” Such a classic line.
