The Librarians: The Next Chapterstar Jessica Green shares an exciting update on season 2. A direct spinoff of the original fantasy adventure seriesThe Librarians, in addition to sharing continuity with theLibrarianmovies,The Next Chapterdebuted in May on TNT and follows the custodians of a magical repository of the world’s most powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts.
The cast ofThe Librarians: The Next Chapterincludes Callum McGowan, who plays the central character of Vikram Chamberlain, alongside Olivia Morris and Bluey Robinson. A second season of the spinoff has been confirmed, with production underway before the first installment has even wrapped.
Green, who plays Charlie Cornwall, spoke withScreenRant’s Grant Hermanns and revealed thatThe Librarians: The Next Chapterseason 2 is almost done filming. In the quote below, Green also shares a funny story about McGowan and what it was like to film during a particularly hot day in Serbia:
We are in the final two weeks. We wrap on the 16th, so we’re about to start filming episode 12 on Wednesday, which is going to be huge, and it’s been a roller coaster. We’ve had so much fun.
I just was saying before, we had the hottest day of the year yesterday. Yesterday was a really hot day, it was 38 degrees, just scorching sun, and poor Callum’s out in a three-piece suit with a leather trench coat and high leather knee boots, so that was a really tough day. But we’re getting it done, and it’s really exciting, and I’m excited for all the fans to see the season, because if you like the first, season 2 blows it out of the park.
What This Means For The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 2
Season 1 Is Still Right In The Thick Of It
The Librariansseason 1 will conclude on August 4, with the show’s debut consisting of 12 episodes overall. The project went through a few notable phases. It moved from The CW to TNT as part of the latter network’s goal of refocusing on scripted programming, receiving a two-season order. Showrunner and executive producer Dean Devlin has praised the relative seamlessness of the shift in interviews, striking an optimistic note about the spinoff’s fortunes.
The spinoff’s confirmed future, at least for season 2, has a direct impact on the upcoming finale.The Librarians: The Next Chapterseason 2may well have the space to address a few cliffhangers, secure in the knowledge that it will move forward. So far, the spinoff has combined standalone elements with the hints of something larger. It could point to a long-running show in its own right.
Our Take On The Next Chapter So Far
It’s Off To A Good Start
The spinoff has brought back Christian Kane fromthe originalLibrariansseries, with the actor reprising the role of Jacob Stone in a guest turn. It has served as a bridge between the two shows. But with enough time, the new iteration could make a place for itself in a sturdy franchise.
The Librarians: The Next Chapterairs Wednesdays at 9 PM ET on TNT.
The chemistry between the actors is strong, even at this early stage. It’s enough to hope that there will be at least a few more years to go beforeThe Librarians: The Next Chapterwraps. At the very least, though, season 2 is on the way.
