It ’s still incredibly eldritch that Divergent is suddenly going fromhumongous box situation adaptation to telly show — but now we hump a trivial but more about how that eventual transformation is going to be made . Not only will the final movie be re - adapted , but the serial itself will proceed to tell Modern stories in the Divergent universe .
The Final Divergent Film Has Been downgrade to a television Movie
talk at a Lionsgate earnings call this calendar week , Television Group Chairman Kevin Beggs discourse why the decision was being made — basically , Allegiant slumped so hard it was n’t worth make a sequel movie — but then elaborate on just how the Divergent television receiver plans will act as out :
[ We ] got turn on about the possibility of what the series could look like — resolving the novel in a season across 10 to 13 episodes , and then expand from there into multiple seasons .
So the consequence of what would ’ve been the last film , Ascendant , will become the show ’s first season , before moving on into its own thing in the viewing of that story coming to a close . That ’s a act dissimilar to what was ab initio rumored as some variety of ‘ TV movie ’ before a young serial whirl - off , but equally as weird a fate for a franchise that was once considered the potential heir to The Hunger Games .
There are still no details on whether movie star Shailene Woodley or Theo James would come back — the closest we have to that isMiles Teller is currently casting incertitude on whether he ’d be back for the show — but if the movie will only be a single season , it might be easy for Lionsgate to court back the cast for one last time .
Then again , completely recasting the total saga for boob tube and play like nothing happened would be the sort of weirdness that ’d be expected in what is already a crazy scenario like this .
