Variety has learned that Lionsgate is planning to bypass a cinema release for final outing Ascendant in favour of a TV movie.
Supporting actors to have starred in the series over its three-film run include Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Naomi Watts and Whiplash actor Miles Teller.
Divergent and its sequel Insurgent found box office success following their respective releases in 2014 and 2015.
Perhaps this is why the ailing Divergent franchise is jumping ship.
