The Librarians: The Next Chapter plot
Here is the overview of what The Librarians: The Next Chapter will cover its 12-episode run:
“The Librarians: The Next Chapter centers on Vikram Chamberlain, 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.”
Dean Devlin, who was an executive producer on the original The Librarians TV series, returns to once again executive produce and serve as showrunner for The Librarians: The Next Chapter.
