Based of TNT's original Librarian trilogy, The Librarians will return viewers to the supernatural-infused world of Flynn Carson (Noah Wyle) and introduce the newest members of his artifact gathering team. Director of 2006's The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines and The Librarian: The Curse of the Judas Chalice, Frakes has been selected to helm three upcoming episodes.

"We're in Portland shooting a new show based on the movies that I did with Noah Wyle, Bob Newhart, Jane Curtin and Olympia Dukakis," Frakes explained to StarTrek.com. "Dean Devlin shot the two-hour pilot and I'll be directing three of the 10 episodes. It's fabulous to revisit The Librarian."

While Wyle will only feature in a few episodes due to his prior commitment with TNT's Falling Skies, his duties as the head librarian will be balanced out by his latest protégées - Jake Stone (Christian Kane), Ezekiel Jones (John Kim), Cassandra (Lindy Booth), and Eve Baird (Rebecca Romijn). Meanwhile, Bob Newhart will also return as Judson.

"Noah is in the two-hour pilot and then he'll be recurring over the season, probably in two other episodes close to the end of the season," Frakes said. According to StarTrek.com. "It's a great group, a lot of the same people that I worked with on Leverage and The Librarian movies. So you know what you're getting."
