Sob! Theo James Confirms He’s Quitting The Divergent Series

Another day, another blow for the troubled Divergent series...

Another day, another blow for the troubled Divergent series, as star Theo James confirms he’s finished with the franchise. The news comes after the revelation that Ascendant, the next part of the YA saga, will be reworked as a TV show following Allegiant’s disastrous box office performance.

Shailene Woodley has long since bailed out, reasoning that “I didn’t sign up to be in a television show,” and from the sounds of his recent comments, James feels the same.

“I think it's a shame that we can't finish the story,” says the star, “but I think it's evolving in a place where the actors that have been in the three movies probably won't be in whatever it evolves to in the future. My message would be, 'thanks for the support’”.

That just leaves Miles Teller to officially jump ship, but having also echoed Woodley’s view that the original agreement was to tell the whole story on the big screen, don’t expect him to make the move to TV any time soon. No firm details about the proposed show have been confirmed as yet, but with none of the three leads seeming keen, it sounds as though it’s going to look quite different to what we’ve seen so far…
