The news comes ahead of Monday's finale.
July 30, 2025
TNT announced today that Season 2 of The Librarians: The Next Chapter will premiere in 2026. Coming ahead of next Monday's freshman finale, the news is not a renewal - the show debuted with a two-season order under its belt - but it does give fans a timeline for its return.
The series premiered on May 25 for a 12-episode run, and it quickly became the #1 new cable original drama season premiere of 2025. In total it has reached nearly 13 million viewers to date.
A spinoff of the acclaimed original television and film franchise, 'The Next Chapter' follows Vikram Chamberlain, a "Librarian" from the past who time traveled from 1847 and 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 help from 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.

I wish reviewers would get off the "the #1 new cable original drama season premiere of 2025" PR statements. That means nothing today. One, there are hardly any new cable shows so it's not like there's a lot of competition. Two, "In total it has reached nearly 13 million viewers to date" is a joke. Back in the day a single so-so episode of "Breaking Bad" got well into 20+ million viewers and the series would have had hundreds of millions total for a season.
then cool.
then dorky.
then wait what?
this show has a chance.. but if season two is dipsydoe more silly, less serious.
i might have to not watch season two.
however i really need to know something. the guardian. why does she constantly walk like her right leg is 2 inches shorter than the rest of her kick ass self?
It's pretty good!
