Lionsgate To Scratch The Divergent Series: Ascendent

It looks like fans of The Divergent Series will have to wait a little longer for the final film. The Divergent Series: Ascendent was scheduled to be released next March, but Lionsgate may be holding off on releasing the film all together.

According to Variety, Lionsgate is looking at pulling the final film all together do to poor box office numbers. Instead, the company wants to replace it with a TV movie that will wrap up the movie’s storyline and introduce new characters in hopes of airing a spin-off TV series in the future.

Nothing has officially been confirmed yet, but with the success of Shadowhunters, which did something similar, this might be the best way to go.
