Just a few days ago, news broke that Lionsgate will be forgoing a theatrical release for its final Divergent movie, The Divergent Series: Ascendant, which was previously set for release on June 9, 2017.
Back in March, we reported that the Lionsgate had the budget slashed for The Divergent Series: Ascendant, following the box office failure of the third installment, The Divergent Series: Allegiant.
Here’s what Shailene Woodley had to say, when asked about the news that Ascendant would become a TV movie.
Instead, the studio will release this franchise finale as a television movie at an undetermined date, which will then segue into a new spinoff TV series.
