Needless to say, this is huge demotion for The Divergent Series, but given how these movies have been performing, this decision is understandable. There's also no word on which network or stream service will air both projects, as no deal has been reached yet. Lee Toland Krieger is still set to direct the new version of Ascendant, but there's no word yet on if Shailene Woodley, Theo James or any of the other movie stars will reprise their characters for the final movie. Lionsgate will still be handling production, and the goal is to conclude the stories of the current Divergent cast in the TV movie to make way for a new group of characters on the show. The latest from Variety states that Ascendant is now being planned as a television movie, and following that, the story will continue in a standalone TV series.
