'Divergent' Project in the Works at Starz
by EG
The Divergent franchise is inching closer to continuing on the small screen.
Premium cable network Starz is developing a TV take on Ascendant, which was to be the fourth movie in the Divergent franchise.
Writer Adam Cozad (Tarzan) is attached to pen the script as producers Lionsgate look to its newly acquired full stake in Starz to mine the stalled feature franchise. Cozad will executive produce alongside Lee Toland Krieger (Age of Adaline) after they were both previously set to write and direct what would have been the fourth film in the Divergent franchise.
Ascendant is in its early stages of development. It's unclear if the project would reunite any of the stars of the films including Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Ansel Elgort. Lionsgate TV and Starz declined comment.
