Why Original Divergent Author Isn’t Upset The Movie Franchise Ended Unfinished

Divergent author Veronica Roth reveals she doesn’t mind that the movie franchise was never finished. Roth published the original Divergent trilogy between 2011 and 2013. The post-apocalyptic Young Adult series quickly became a bestseller, often drawing comparisons to the other hit dystopian YA book series, The Hunger Games. Like Suzanne Collins’ novels, the Divergent books were also adapted for the screen and planned to follow the strategy of dividing the final book into a two-part movie. However, after the first part, The Divergent Series: Allegiant, performed poorly at the box office, the second part, The Divergent Series: Ascendant, was canceled, leaving the franchise incomplete.
