This fall the CW Networks new series, The Librarians: The Next Chapter has a new team that team that protects the world by watching over some of its most dangerous artifacts. In the spin-off, Librarian Vikram Chamberlin (Callum McGowan) from the past gets stuck in our time and forms a new team when he accidentally unleashes magic into the world.
The cast of ‘The Librarians: The Next Chapter’ are Callum McGowan, Olivia Morris, Bluey Robinson and Caroline Loncq join previously announced Jessica Green and guest star Christian Kane, who reprises his role as Jacob Stone.
According to Deadline:
McGowan will play Vikram Chamberlin, The Librarian. Vikram was THE Librarian in 1847. A protean genius and swashbuckler, he broke the rules of The Library and accidentally transported himself to present-day Central Europe where he must lead a team of talented young people in securing magical artifacts from those who would abuse them. The question is, will Vikram keep his oath to the Library (and his new team) or will he attempt to travel back to his own time where unfinished business – and his heart – remain.
Morris portrays Lysa Pascal, The Scientist. A brilliant polymath, Lysa holds advanced degrees in physics, mathematics, and engineering. Because of a childhood tragedy, she is obsessed with eliminating the unpredictable from life. Upon inheriting an ancient castle in Serbia, she comes into the orbit of Vikram and the Library. She joins his team to see if “magic” can be explained in scientific terms. There is also a deeper motive to her involvement…Vikram’s past may be the key to unraveling her own identity.
Robinson is Connor Green, The Historian. Having lost a career in academia after claiming that magic does exist in the world, Connor became a fringe figure, posting his findings on the internet to an audience of conspiracy freaks. In addition to an encyclopedic knowledge of history and all things supernatural, Connor is an extreme athlete and parkour expert, having trained himself to get into…and out of…the secretive corners of the paranormal world. Connor’s involvement with Vikram is his chance to prove that he was right. Unfortunately, he is now forsworn from ever telling anyone what he knows.
Loncq plays Elaine Astalot, The Caretaker. Elaine, a resident of Camelot in the days of King Arthur, is an immortal and caretaker of the Library. She has her hands full keeping Vikram and the rest of his team in their lanes, but never loses the keep-calm-and-carry-on attitude of a British landlady who’s pretty much seen it all in her fourteen centuries on the planet.”
