Divergent series to end with TV movie
The fourth and final chapter of the Divergent film series will not see the light of day in cinemas.
Instead, Ascendant will be released as a TV movie.
However, it is not clear if the franchise's stars, Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort and Miles Teller, will reprise their roles.
Ascendant was originally scheduled to open in June 2017.
According to Variety, the reason for the drastic move was due to the poor box-office receipts of the last instalment, Allegiant, which was released this year.
It earned US$179.24 million (S$243m).
Based on Veronica Roth's young adult books, Divergent and its sequel Insurgent were hits when they were released in 2014 and 2015 respectively, raking in US$288.88 million and US$297.27 million respectively.
