TNT’sThe Librarians: The Next Chaptercontinued the original Librarians series in a fun new way by combining elements of the original series with fresh takes on the lore, and season 2 looks to be doing the same with the release of a new trailer for the series.
The Librarians: The Next Chapterfilmed the first two seasons back-to-back, which is likely why a trailer has been made available so quickly, while there is still no premiere date for the second season. This particulartrailer spotlights the guest stars who will appear inThe Next Chapterseason 2.
While Christian Kane as Jacob Stone will likely not surprise fans since he also appeared in the first season, another familiar face from the originalLibrariansseries also appears at the end of the trailer. So do some new faces to the franchise. Watch the trailer below:
One of the biggest guest stars for the series is Dominic MonaghanofLord of the RingsandLOSTfame. Monaghan appears as the character with the most lines in the trailer and looks to play a large role in the upcoming season.
What The Guest Stars Mean For The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 2
The Librarians Offers An Exciting Lineup
Chances are that the trailer doesn’t give away every guest star that appears inThe Librarians: The Next Chapterseason 2, but it certainly offers an exciting lineup for the season.
Every guest star who appears inThe Librarians: The Next Chapterseason 2 trailer:
While Dominic Monaghan appears to be playing a villain of some kind, given his slightly sinister smile, the blade pulled on him, and his insistence that the Librarians will need his help, it will be interesting to see how much of season 2 he will appear in. This trailer makes Monaghan look like a villain with a longer story arc.
Josh Gates is not strictly an actor. Instead, he’s an archaeologist who has spent 10 years working on the seriesExpedition Unknown, which gives him an interesting background to play here.
Both Jeremy Swift and Flula Borg are known for their appearances in comedies. Swift is best known for his work inTed Lasso,while Borg is known for his work in thePitch Perfectfranchise and his recent appearances inThe Rookie.
Christian Kane and Lindy Booth are familiar facesof theLibrariansfranchise. Both stars were Librarian trainees in the original series.
This particular lineup of guest stars indicates that the new series is looking to build on the world already created in the original show even more. It also could be leaning into the comedy inherent in the misadventures of the main characters as they tackle magical mysteries.
Our Take On The Librarians: The Next Chapter Season 2 Trailer
The Trailer Saves The Best For Last
Lindy Booth is the final guest star spotlighted in the trailer. She has no lines, and her brief appearance does not hint at what exactly she is up to in the show, but the trailer truly saves the most interesting guest star for last.
There have been a lot of questions about whetherThe Librarians: The Next Chapterwould elect to bring in more characters from the original series, other thanChristian Kane’s Jacob Stone. Stone is known for his work with creators Dean Devlin and John Rogers, starring in the showsAlmost ParadiseandLeverage,as well asLeverage: Redemption. Kane appearing again was almost a given.
Lindy Booth appearing as Cassandra Cillian, however, is very exciting. In the original series, she was the character who became most tied to magic. She learned to wield it and was able to use it on the missions the group undertook.Her character provides a massive counterpoint toThe Librarians: The Next Chapter.
The Next Chapterpaints magic as the enemy. The characters in this new series are trying to protect the world from magic instead of properly using it. That makes Cassandra appearing a great way to examine magic and potentially create new conflict for the team without being a villain.
The guest stars being utilized inThe Librarians: The Next Chapterare a sure-fire way to drum up excitement for the upcoming season.
