The Librarians are back with The Next Chapter on TNT. The show introduces a time-traveling swashbuckler, a new team of geniuses, and a monster-of-the-week demon called a Drekavac. Set in Belgrade (despite the cast’s fluent English), this fantasy adventure keeps the spirit of the original series and films alive, literally featuring the return of Jacob (Christian Kane).

We break down the premiere episode, “And the Deadly Drekavac,” talk about the showrunners mission to get this made, the pros and cons, and how it stacks up against other fantasy fighting shows like Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Magicians, and Buffy. Tune in and enjoy!
