Do you remember when there were plans to create one more Divergent movie called The Divergent Series: Ascendant AKA Allegiant, Part 2? Those were simpler times.

Divergent author Veronica Roth speaks out about Lionsgate’s recent decision not to release Ascendant AKA Allegiant Part 2 in movie theaters.
When Shailene Woodley said in a recent interview that she wasn’t sure she’d return for the final Divergent movie, which will be shot for television, some fans thought she was being ungrateful.
No, that story in July about the Divergent finale skipping theaters wasn’t a late April Fools Day joke. Lionsgate has confirmed that the Divergent / Ascendant TV movie and/or spinoff TV series is really happening.
Yesterday we told you that the final Divergent movie, titled Ascendant will be skipping movie theaters and heading straight for television, where it will also help springboard a spinoff TV series. But what we didn’t know at the time was that the series’ stars may not be returning for it.
