No reason was given as to why the TV adaptation of Ascendant stalled, but it wouldn't be a stretch to say that the lack of interest from the Divergent cast to return for the TV show meant a continuation of the series just didn't make sense. More than a year passed with no news about the planned TV show, before it was confirmed in December 2018 that the series was "no longer in active development", according to a Starz spokesperson (via Buzzfeed News). Krieger and Adam Cozad were said to be developing it, having been attached to Ascendant when it was a movie. Soon, Woodley and other Divergent stars, including Theo James, were counting themselves out of reprising their roles for Ascendant if it was going to be a TV movie.Īnd yet in August 2017, it was reported that Lionsgate was pushing ahead with a TV adaptation through Starz, which it had just acquired.
