The Librarians Sequel Show Gets Premiere Date From The CW

The CW will air The Librarians: The Next Chapter starting on Thursday, October 24 at 9 p.m., following Superman & Lois that night.

• The show continues The Librarian franchise with new characters while incorporating Christian Kane's return as Jacob Stone.

• While details on the plot are scarce, the show is expected to follow the fantasy adventure formula of previous installments.

The CW has revealed the premiere date for The Librarians: The Next Chapter, confirming when the sequel series will arrive on the network. A sequel to TNT's The Librarians, the upcoming series will feature new characters guarding the Library's historical and mythological artifacts. It was previously announced that The Librarians: The Next Chapter's release would be on Thursdays at 9 p.m. sometime in fall 2024. However, a specific date hadn't been revealed yet, leaving it unclear when the show would be coming back.

Now, TVLine has confirmed The Librarians: The Next Chapter will begin on the CW starting Thursday, October 24 at 9 p.m. The premiere will follow a new episode of Superman & Lois season 4, which will begin the week before at 8 p.m. that same night. While it won't begin right at the start of the 2024-25 TV season, its air date puts it right around when other dramas are coming back to the network.

The Librarian franchise began in 2004 with the TV movie The Librarian: Quest for the Spear, which introduced the concepts that would become the groundwork for the series moving forward. Since then, the core part of the universe has consisted of a trilogy of movies alongside a sequel TV show, The Librarians, which altered the concept while continuing to expand the series. Now, the upcoming entry seeks to continue this expansion, taking place after the previous show while offering new adventures for its cast to embark upon.

Information about the upcoming spinoff is unclear, including how important The Librarian movies and previous TV series will be to understand the show. However, alongside a new cast of characters will be actor Christian Kane, who will return as Jacob Stone from the previous series. This means there's a strong possibility that background information on the franchise will be important to understanding what happens in the upcoming series. Luckily, though, the new faces will need to be eased into the world just as much as any new viewers would need to be as well.

Although there's little information about what will happen during The Librarians: The Next Generation, the fantasy adventures in previous installments mean the show will probably follow a similar formula. Given the CW's affinity for fantasy shows in the past, the sequel series has a chance to become another classic entry in the network's lineup. With the series still a few months away, though, it might be some time before more concrete information about what it entails gets released.

The Librarian movie trilogy and The Librarians TV show are available on Freevee via Prime Video.
