About the The Divergent Series saga
'The Divergent Series' adapted Veronica Roth's young adult novels, set in a futuristic Chicago where society is split into five factions by each person's virtue. Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) discovers she is Divergent, fitting none of them, which makes her a threat to the system.
'Divergent' (2014), directed by Neil Burger, added Theo James as Four and Kate Winslet as the villainous Jeanine Matthews, and was a hit at the height of the dystopian craze after 'The Hunger Games'. Robert Schwentke directed the next two, 'The Divergent Series: Insurgent' (2015) and 'The Divergent Series: Allegiant' (2016), which split the last book in two.
'Allegiant' did so poorly at the box office that the fourth film, 'Ascendant', was announced but never made: the studio considered turning it into a TV film before dropping the project. The series was left without an ending on the big screen.
