How many movies in the divergent series?
Between 2011 and 2013, three books have been released about the main story, following Tris. A few years later, in 2018, an epilogue was released. However, only three books have been adapted for the big screen. As you may have guessed, the three main books have been the only ones being adapted: Divergent has been adapted and has been named exactly the same.
Insurgent has been named The Divergent Series: Insurgent and Allegiant was named The Divergent Series: Allegiant.
To answer the question about how many movies were released in the divergent series, the answer is three!
Three out of the 8 books… Isn’t it sad in some ways? We could have seen We Can Be Mended, an adaptation of the Four stories: The Transfer before Tobias’s Choosing Day Ceremony, The Initiate where we follow Four as a Dauntless initiate, The Son where he see him evolve as a Dauntless member and finally… The Traitor, which takes place during the Divergent main serie events!
What could we expect in the future regarding how many movies could be expected in the divergent series?
Some little facts about the movies.
Did you know that Allegiant was originally supposed to be split into two parts? That’s why we should have had 4 movies with the latest being named Ascendant. It was first supposed to be released in 2017 but the box office didn’t meet up with the expectations. Therefore, in 2016 (4 months after the release of Allegiant), it was announced that Ascendant was supposed to be released as a TV movie. Unfortunately for us, this TV movie was finally cancelled so we ended up not getting this latest movie set in the Divergent universe.
It was supposed to be set after Allegiant and was about exploring the world beyond the Fence so it could have been about the short story We Can Be Mended. So the answer to the question “How many movies could we have expected in the divergence series” could have been four instead of three! However, the critical reception was kinda… Not that good? The plot and action were good but the ending and the writing for the last existing movie didn’t make it and so we have been deprived of a fourth movie…
Some other movies could have been released with another point of view, be it from Tobias Eaton just like the spin-off serie “Four: A Divergent Collection”. We could also have some completely other things with maybe a new book being released but as far as we know, Veronica Roth hasn’t planned to go back to the Divergent Universe so it may – unfortunately – not happen.
If we could have some other movies in the Divergent series, what part of the story or the universe would you like to see?
