Former "The Outpost" star Jessica Green is returning to The CW for her second series at the network, as a series regular in "The Librarians: The Next Chapter", a spinoff of the fantasy adventure series, from writer and executive producer Dean Devlin.

The new series centers on a “Librarian” from the past, who time traveled to the present and now finds himself stuck here. When he returns to his castle, which is now a museum, he inadvertently releases magic across the continent. He is given a new team to help him clean up the mess he made, forming a new team of Librarians.




Green will play Charlie Cornwall, the Guardian. Charlie, having been rejected by the Library to serve as a Guardian – essentially the bodyguard of The Librarian – was at a low point in her life when she got the call to be a “special guardian” on a trial basis.

Trained in the military, her dedication and martial art skills are unquestionable. If she can keep the powers that be in line, she can achieve her dream to become a permanent member of the Library.

"The Librarians: The Next Chapter" Rounds Out Cast

The CW has rounded out the series regular cast of "The Librarians: The Next Chapter".


- Callum McGowan (Marie Antoinette) 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.




- Olivia Morris (RRR) will portray 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.




- Bluey Robinson (The Lion King, Cats) will portray 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.




- Caroline Loncq (Killing Eve) will portray 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.
