The magic is gone, at least for now. TNT has cancelled The Librarians TV show after four seasons. On Twitter, executive producer Dean Devlin confirmed that he had just received a call confirming the cancellation. However, a glimmer of hope remains. Devlin said he will, “…immediately begin the process of trying to move the show elsewhere,” and asked fans to keep their fingers crossed.
A TNT fantasy-adventure drama, The Librarians stars Rebecca Romijn, Christian Kane, Lindy Booth, John Harlan Kim, and John Larroquette, with Noah Wyle recurring as veteran librarian, Flynn Carsen. Like the film franchise, the TV series centers on the ancient organization dedicated to safeguarding an unknowing world from the secret, magical reality hidden all around. The librarians serve as the protectors of the world’s mystical treasures.

The Librarians: A Look at the Ratings
The fourth season of The Librarians averaged a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.45 million viewers. Compared to season three, it was down by 38% and 20%, respectively. From that perspective, the cancellation makes sense.
Among the eight first-run scripted TNT TV shows we’re currently tracking, The Librarians ranks fourth in terms of its demo ratings average and drops to fifth in terms of average total audience. Running in the middle of the pack after four seasons is still respectable. However, in the last year or so, TNT has been repositioning itself as the home of edgy, grittier drama. The Turner-owned cable network even cancelled Major Crimes this year — its number one show. Like that procedural, it seems like The Librarians is as much a victim of the cable net’s new image, as of Nielsen households.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Librarians TV series? Shoul it have been cancelled or renewed for season five on TNT? Sound off, in the comments.
Maaaan, noo way. This show is tooo sweer to not have another season…
I just finished season 4 and i cannot get enough of the librarians.
The Librarians deserves to be continued and should be continued. I challenge networks, cable or whomever to bring this family show back. I for one am so tired of being inundated with shows that are so anti family, full of violence, derogatory plots, vulgar words are the norm, and on and on.
So please bring back The Librarians.
love the show. I just cancelled TNT that makes me feel a little better. This feels like an old Friend that moves away. Hope to see u again
I know right… i love the show too and it totally deserves season 5 and 6 and 7
Such a clean thought provoking show that the whole family could watch and discuss later. I’m really disappointed.
I love the Librarians. I started with the first movies then the series. I watch the shows over and over.
I just learned the show has bern canceled. I pray that some other station picks the show up and it will again be on Hulu or Netflix. There are so few shows that I truely enjoy anymore that we canceled our tv service.
So sad! My husband and I loved this show!
I agree with all the good reviews that I read below. I hope that you find another channel to take the show! I have been binge watching it!
Not often a show comes along that is not only entertaining but is actuall worthy to be viewed by the entire family. A show that combines science, math, literature, engineering and is just plain entertaining as well. TNT may be after a racier edged criteria now but please don’t get rid of a show that families all over the world look forward to each year! If your station is unwilling to continue this fine program perhaps you’re not as worthy of my families time. There must be other stations that would keep shows like this alive and going. Or at… Read more »
I’ve been waiting for the new season and am disappointed that it’s been cancelled. They left us hanging at the end of last season!
I am SO disheartened to hear this news! The Librarians is a FANTASTIC show! Hey Netflix! Pick THIS SHOW UP! Or maybe this could be Roku Channel’s first original programming! Wouldn’t THAT be nice! This show was destined for cancellation because it is fun, intelligent and family oriented! Gee only 4 generations of my family would watch it together! How many shows can say that! It is a show about POSSIBILITY and Self Accountability while also being filled with action, comedy and even suspense! Something as fun, witty, escapist and entertaining as The Librarians is SO VERY MUCH NEEDED in… Read more »
The Librarian’s was one of the few shows worth watching. The world is dark enough and the current “darker, grittier” fare is just that …Dark. I looked forward to the lighter, fun hour of escapism into a world that could be. where magic, both good and bad, exists and could be just around the corner. It doesn’t make fun of others for the laugh or make the boogie man the guy next door. I was so excited when the movies became a series and am really sad to have the magic end. I REALLY hope you find it a new… Read more »
I really like this series. Please someone pick it up. TNT shame on you. Seems executives and critics hate what the viewers really like.
I like the show. Please keep it around! Funny, light & beautiful props. Noah & cast work so well together.
what no more librarians….that was the only reason for paying for cable tv…thank goodness for pbs…..there isn’t anything worth watching on tv……sooooo saaaaad. that was the one good show on tv……….
Wow, TNT really made a blunder here… I’m sick to death of “darker and grittier” TV fare. I’m looking for good old-fashioned escapist entertainment and “The Librarians” fit the bill perfectly. Here’s hoping the series finds a new home; we need more programs like it, not fewer.
