Hulu Cancels ‘A Court of Thorns and Roses’ TV Series – What Went Wrong?

Is There Still Hope for an “A Court of Thorns and Roses” TV Adaptation?

While Hulu may have walked away, Sarah J. Maas isn’t giving up. Sources close to the author confirm that she plans to reclaim the TV rights after Disney’s hold on them expires in late summer 2025.

This means the project could still find a home on another streaming platform or network. With the success of similar fantasy adaptations like House of the Dragon and Shadow and Bone, it’s hard to believe no one will jump at the chance to bring ACOTAR to the screen.

Who Was Involved in the Project?

The TV adaptation had Outlander creator Ronald D. Moore attached as a co-writer alongside Maas, giving fans high hopes for a well-crafted, immersive adaptation. While no casting had been officially announced, speculation ran rampant online, with fans dream-casting their ideal Feyre, Tamlin, and Rhysand.

What Happens Now?

For now, fans will have to wait and see if ACOTAR finds a new home. Maas’ books remain incredibly popular, and with more sequels on the way, the hype around the franchise isn’t dying anytime soon.

Until then, readers can keep the dream alive by re-reading the series, debating fan theories, and manifesting a platform like Netflix or Amazon Prime stepping in to make A Court of Thorns and Roses the next big fantasy hit.
