The Librarians is
a brand new action-packed family series promising adventure, suspense and magic
for the small screen. Starring Rebecca Romijn and Noah Wyle, The Librarians centres on an ancient organization
hidden beneath the Metropolitan Public Library in New York, dedicated to
protecting an unknowing world from the secret, magical reality hidden all
around.
An ancient evil organization called The Serpent Brotherhood,
lead by the mysterious immortal Dulaque (Matt Frewer) and his dangerous
assassin Lamia (South African born Lesley-Ann Brandt) are threatening to
destroy technology and bring back the age of magic. It falls to The Librarian
Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) and Colonel Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn) to recruit
three extraordinary people who were once Librarian candidates themselves:
Cassandra Cillian (Lindy Booth) – a hospital attendant whose
life-threatening brain tumour has given her the gift of synaesthesia – the
ability to link all five senses to her memory. She is particularly skilled in
math and science; Jacob Stone (Christian Kane) – a cowboy from Oklahoma who
works on oil pipeline and is secretly a published scholar in the fields of art
and history, and Ezekiel Jones (John Kim) – a world-class thief with an
alarming lack of conscience and a knack for getting in and out of tight spots.
Things go from bad to worse, however, when The Librarians
figure out the Brotherhood’s ominous endgame – to introduce magic back into the
world. If they fail to stop the Brotherhood’s plans, the world will be plunged
into a new Dark Age. But if they succeed, and survive, they will become the new
Librarians.
