Divergent Star Is "Not Necessarily Interested" in Finishing the Series on TV

Following the disappointing box office take for this year's Allegiant, it was reported that the next film in the Divergent film series would be heading to TV. Shailene Woodley is the latest member of the cast to express apparent disinterest in finishing the story on the small screen.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Woodley revealed that she wasn't keen on Lionsgate's plans for the series. "Last I heard they were trying to make it into a television show. I didn't sign up to be in a television show," she said. "Out of respect to the studio and everyone involved, they may have changed their mind and may be doing something different. But I'm not necessarily interested in doing a television show."

Woodley's comments follow those of her co-star, Whiplash's Miles Teller. In August, Teller admitted he didn't know what would happen to the series, or if he would be involved. "I honestly haven't talked to anybody," he told THR. "It caught us all by surprise."

"Things do change anytime they're messing with something that was not the original intention. We all signed on for it in hopes that it'd be released in theaters, and we all had every intention of finishing [the franchise]."

Allegiant's box office debut brought in $29.1 million, which was a more than 40 percent drop from both Divergent and the second film Insurgent's opening weekend earnings. Allegiant went on to make $179.2 million with a budget of $110 million, not including marketing.

The series also stars Theo James (Underworld: Awakening), Ansel Elgort (Carrie), and Zoe Kravitz (Mad Max: Fury Road), and is is based on a post-apocalyptic book series by author Veronica Roth.
