So today it was announced that TNT had decided to save The Librarians: The Next Chapter, spinoff of hit TNT tv show The Librarians, by giving it a two-season order after CW pulled it from their fall schedule so I'm trying to make sure this can stick around for as long as the original. Two seasons may be guaranteed but they're not all this deserves if it's any bit as good as the original at its best. This is not just about people like me who saw the original show and now feel the desire to fight for more stories in this world, this is about all the people for whom this new show would be their first glimpse of not just the beautiful storytelling but the values this franchise is all about of found-family, a world full of wonder and above all the kind of love of learning/intellectualism that we need more of in these troubled times.

Many fans had their excitement built by the announcement of this spinoff and even more so when we started hearing about this new team of characters (the time-displaced swashbuckler Librarian, a greener/less-team-mom-y Guardian with a name that should already get people's imaginations running for where the plot might go, two other Librarians (as I don't think we'd be still calling the non-lead ones LITs) who despite being similar in vibe and specialty area to Stone and Cassandra hold great potential even from what little we know of them to make their mark as lovable characters in their own right and another old immortal Caretaker from Camelot but a woman this time and one with a potentially-plot-relevant potentially-tragic backstory). Not to mention the interesting-implication-ed news that Jake Stone of all people would be the original-team-member recurring-guest-ing as kinda the same sort of mentor figure Flynn was in the original. As soon as the fandom got info about this new team we took it and ran with it with theories and speculation and even a little bit of preemptive fan content. And also another point of fan excitement was that Dean Devlin would be back as showrunner because the back two seasons of the original The Librarians after he left to do The Ark leaving someone else in charge were kinda polarizing let's just say. Therefore now that someone has made sure this show will actually see the light of day we should make sure it can continue as far as it can (with hopefully no surprise shakeups like the original had) and maybe it might lead to things like even more stories in this world (as while I'm not saying it should go as wild with the spinoffs as some crime show franchises perhaps however this is able to justify multiple connections to the same Library could have room for even more if those hypothetical spinoffs had different plot-justifications for another team)

Therefore, I believe that now that TNT has given this next chapter the gift of at least two seasons of second chance, it should extend said gift beyond that to ensure that this story can stand as an equal to the original. After all, if the original show's taught us anything, whenever the Library looks like it's about to be lost, it isn't.
