Hulu Cancels 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' Adaptation

The adaptation of Sarah J. Maas's fantasy series 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' has officially been cancelled by Hulu and 20th Television after four years of development. Initially announced in 2021, the project was developed by Ronald D. Moore but faced delays due to industry strikes and Moore's departure to Sony Pictures Television. Despite hopes to shop the series to other platforms, Hulu's rights have ended, and the adaptation will not move forward under their banner. Fans are divided, with some expressing disappointment over the missed opportunity and others relieved to avoid a potentially rushed project. The book series, a Beauty and the Beast retelling, remains popular, leaving potential for another network to take on the project. Sarah J. Maas plans to shop the rights to other platforms after regaining them from Hulu.
