A Court of Thorns and Roses TV Series Doesn’t Survive Valentine’s Day

Oops. Never mind. After a years-long situationship, Hulu decided not to seal the deal and is no longer developing Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses into a scripted series, Vulture has confirmed. News broke on Valentine’s Weekend, a.k.a. it was the worst news for a time all about roses and romance. Reps for 20th Television and Hulu declined to comment. The show has been in development since 2021, with Outlander’s Ronald D. Moore originally hired as the showrunner. Just last year, there was a rumor that the series was canceled; however, the streamer confirmed ACOTAR was still in development in February 2024. Variety reports that Maas hopes to shop the series elsewhere, as Disney has the rights to the series through Summer 2025. The ball is now in another studio’s court and they have all summer to prepare for battle.
