2026 is a huge year for Magnus and we wanted to take some time to catch you up on everything
that is going on because, well, it's a lot. It's been 10 years since the release of the first Magnus
Archives episode and we need to celebrate that with every single one of you who was listened to the show whether you are a brand new listener or have been here since the beginning. So firstly, season 2 act 3 of the Magnus Protocol releases every other week from 16th of July 2026

Now, on to yet more massive news, in case you haven't heard, there is now a Magnus Archives novel, the Library of Jürgen Lightner is set in the world of the

The story follows Hugh, a university dropout desperate to find somewhere to belong and his new job at an esoteric library. The books he must investigate for the Enigmatic Jürgen Lightner are not normal, because the library is not a vault, sealed and silent, but a hive, alive, buzzing, and ready to sting. The Library of Jürgen Lightner releases October 27,

private library of the enigmatic collector Yergen Lightning, where occult books are guarded and researched at a fatal cost. Lightning's library keeps the dangers of these books in check and there would be readers safe or so lighten their claims. For two of lighteners employees, the risks are worth it. For Hugh Franklin, the library is a place to belong, for Sebastian Everett, the library is an opportunity to indulge arcane ambitions, though there are 10 years that the library were years apart,
human Sebastian's stories unfold in parallel and their footsteps echo down the same eerie aisles, caught in a web spun long before either Everhert the name Yergen Lightning.
