At the end of July it became known that the Studio Lionsgate is considering issuing a final part of the series “Divergent” on small screens. This is due to the desire to reduce the cost of production, and also with the launch of the series based on the books by Veronica Roth. Stars of “Divergent”, who learned about the plans for the Studio at Comic Con, was extremely surprised by this news and therefore not give any concrete answer about the participation in a future project. Shailene Woodley in an interview she gave in Venice the publication Screen Rant, spoke in detail about the future of “Divergent”.
Shailene Woodley spoke out against the serial version of “Divergent”
Shailene Woodley’s acting in the series “Divergent” the main role, learning about the plans for the Studio Lionsgate about the release of the final part of the series on one of the television channels were very surprised. According to her, even a few months after the first statements of the representatives of the Studio, no new information about the fate of the project was provided.
In an interview with Screen Rant, the actress said that she had no plans to associate itself with the series:the Last thing I heard about “Divergent” is that the Studio is going to make from the film series. And I didn’t sign up to participate in the series. With all due respect to the Studio and to people who are engaged in this project, they can change their minds to release a feature film and eventually something else, but it is not necessary that I want to participate”.

The cumulative production budget of the three films of the series, released, amounted to $305 million, while total revenue from rent of $739 million.
Under the terms of the contract, which was signed by the actors, they agreed to take in four films – no information about the show in the official documents no. So, formally, the stars of “Divergent” can simply refuse to perform the contract. Until formal proposals none of the main cast received. If it is followed, it will probably require a new contract or additional agreement to have been signed. When participation in the series asked miles teller (he plays in the movies of the series the role of Peter), he refused to give any comments until then, until you know all the details of the future project.
Kevin Beggs, who heads the TV division of the Studio, Lionsgate, in an interview with Deadline, explained how the idea of the series may be embodied in the life:I am Very glad to move this kinoseriya on small screens. We want to split the last film into 10-13 episodes, and after that we will have the opportunity to expand the story for another few seasons. The results showed the last of which was released on the big screens of the movies, make it impossible to continue the production of the final part of this story”.
In the basis of “Divergent” is based on a book trilogy writer Veronica Roth. Initially as part of the series was planned to produce three films, one for each published book, but then the Studio Lionsgate has changed the decision and last novel of the cycle was divided into two paintings. This risky move was probably due to a desire to increase profits, led to the opposite results and the dissatisfaction of the audience.
