'Librarians' Sequel Moves to TNT After CW Drops it From Schedule

It looks like The Librarians: The Next Chapter is getting a new lease on life thanks to TNT’s acquisition.

The CW initially had plans to include The Librarians: The Next Chapter in its fall schedule but later decided to pull it from the lineup. This move was somewhat unexpected, given the show's ties to the popular The Librarians franchise, which began with a TV movie and led to a four-season series on TNT.

The Wall Street Journal reports that TNT has picked up the series, which aligns with their strategy to strengthen their drama offerings. This acquisition represents a significant shift, as it brings the series back to its original network and provides it with a new platform.

Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment at The CW, expressed pride in the collaboration with Dean Devlin and Electric Entertainment, noting that the series has found a new home where it will be appreciated. Schwartz’s statement highlights their enthusiasm for the show and the value seen in its continuation on TNT.

This move could be a win for fans of the franchise, who will now have the opportunity to follow the next chapter on TNT. The series' shift back to its original network suggests that it will benefit from the familiar branding and potentially reach a dedicated audience eager for more of The Librarians.
