'The Librarians' renewed for season two at TNT

ATLANTA, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- The Librarians was renewed for a second season Thursday at TNT.

The drama is based on the television film series of the same name, and premiered in December 2014. Season one came to a close in January, and the network announced the program will return for a 10-episode second season.

The movies follow Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle), an overachieving student who leaves school to work at the Metropolitan Public Library. The character becomes the institution's Librarian, a leader who protects the building's historic and magical items.

The Librarians television series stars Rebecca Romijn as Eve Baird, a former NATO agent tasked with protecting Carsen and three new Librarians, genius Jacob Stone (Christian Kane), mathematician Cassandra Cillian (Lindy Booth) and expert thief Ezekiel Jones (John Kim).
