The trailer for The Librarians: The Next Chapter was originally developed at The CW, it was pulled from the schedule in August 2024, two months before its planned premiere, and picked up by TNT a week later.

Electric Entertainment has now debuted the official trailer for The Librarians: The Next Chapter. The one-minute video introduces four new adventures, first showcasing their personas individually, then revealing how they ping-pong off of one another in a group scene, complete with sarcastic jibes about how dangerous it is to work with such powerful magical artifacts. The trailer then offers quick glimpses at the adventures from the season, including a sword-fight, a monster hopping on top of cars, and a character climbing a metal structure at a precarious height. Watch the trailer below:

What This Means For The Librarians: The Next Chapter

The Characters Are Coming To Life

This trailer offers the first major look at footage from the 2025 fantasy show since it was originally announced to be in development at The CW in May 2023. After a wait of nearly two years, the promotional campaign for The Librarians: The Next Chapter is finally ramping up in earnest. Even though the show still does not have an official premiere date, this teaser offers a much closer look into the inner workings of the series and the new characters at its center.

TNT is advertising the show's return to the fold by saying "The magic is BACK where it belongs" in the caption of the trailer.

Just like the original The Librarians, the cast - which includes Raven's Hollow's Callum McGowan, Britannia's Bluey Robinson, Hotel Portofino star Olivia Morris, and Air cast member Jessica Green - will be playing a diverse group of characters with different specialized skills that will aid them in their various adventures. This is teased in their introductions, which see them harnessing different skills to solve magical mysteries, including battle prowess, an ability to magically trace footsteps, and familiarity with the history of artifacts.

Our Take On The Librarians: The Next Chapter Trailer

It Carries On The Original Legacy

So far, not much has been revealed about the overarching plot of the debut season of The Librarians: The Next Chapter. However, once the show's premiere date is officially announced, it seems likely that a second trailer could debut that gives a closer look at that aspect of the sequel show. In the meantime, it seems to be harnessing the same group dynamic that helped the original series succeed, which could be good news for its potential to be renewed for future seasons after spending so long on the shelf.
