Final DIVERGENT Film Downgraded To a Made-For-TV Movie

TV Movie Divergent Shailene Woodley Ascendant about 8 years agoby Mick Joest

The final Divergent film will be a made-for-TV movie that leads into a spinoff TV series. That's the news Variety brings us this morning, which has me at odds.

Ascendant, the final Divergent film, was set for release next year, but after low box office sales for Allegiant, they're nixing that plan. There is no confirmation that Shailene Woodley, Theo James, or Ansel Elgort will be involved, which makes me a bit nervous for sure.

The plan is that this final movie will transition a new cast into a new television series based on the books.

I'm pretty sure I can guess most of the site's opinion, but personally, I like the Divergent series! Just to put myself out there even more, I like it more than The Hunger Games. Now I'm concerned that what was once an "all right" series will now become an MTV special.
