After the disappointing news regarding the A Court Of Thorns and Roses' canceled show is a major disappointment to audiences who have been waiting for any movement from Hulu on its progress ever since the loss of its showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Sadly, the news audiences did get was that it had been scrapped by Hulu, with Maas now waiting for the rights to expire to shop around for a new studio.
While the explicit reason why the ACOTAR Hulu show has been canceled has yet to be made public, it is still a blow for the popular BookTok series. Several other series have been picked up for adaptations, so forcing A Court Of Thorns and Roses to start from scratch is a huge setback for its longevity on the platform and in the larger zeitgeist. This decision, then, makes an announcement on the sixth book in the series a necessity, especially as there has been little movement on that front from Maas as well.
The 6th ACOTAR Book Needs An Announcement More Than Ever After The Disappointing TV Show News
Maas Confirmed The Book Was Happening In 2024
An announcement about the status of the sixth A Court Of Thorns and Roses book is desperately needed now that the TV show is no longer going forward. Maas confirmed that a sixth ACOTAR book was happening back in 2024, suggesting that the novel would be her first priority after the Crescent City series was completed that January (via today.com). However, Maas has made no announcements since regarding the book, leaving audiences to speculate on what it could entail and whose perspective it would cover.
The Sixth ACOTAR Book Needs To Rectify One Problem With Court Of Silver Flames' Ending
One of the most debated issues with Silver Flames' ending is that Cassian never tells Nesta he loves her—but the next ACOTAR novel can fix it.
Announcing the book's release date, title, or cover would help ease the disappointment audiences are feeling after the cancelation news, giving them something to look forward to while also staying relevant on BookTok. If Maas were to update the sixth book's status, it would give fans something to discuss and theorize about much like other new releases, maintaining the series' popularity through new content. That excitement can be shared by studios as well as audiences, expanding the reasoning beyond the books to announce the next installment of A Court Of Thorns and Roses.
The Next Court Of Thorns & Roses Book Could Do More Than Give Readers Something To Look Forward To
It Could Help The Series Stay In The Adaptation Race
Maas announcing a new update on the next book may also help it find a new studio for the series' adaptation, giving readers more to potentially look forward to. There has been a newfound pressure to produce romantasy shows due to the rise of BookTok's influence, resulting in the acquisition of several popular series like Fourth Wing and Quicksilver. By re-entering the media with news on the next book, Maas could re that race as the excitement from audiences would be taken into consideration by studios who might pick it up.
An announcement by Maas about the next book would amplify the series' popularity, which in turn would make it seem like a sound investment to other studios who are considering ing the romantasy race themselves.
Hulu's cancelation of the series has not deterred the desire for an adaptation from the fans nor has the gap between installments stalled their expectations for the story's continuation. An announcement by Maas about the next book would amplify the series' popularity, which in turn would make it seem like a sound investment to other studios who are considering ing the romantasy race themselves. As a result, Maas could find a new home for the A Court Of Thorns and Roses adaptation much more efficiently as it highlights its devoted audiences as a key benefit for greenlighting this project.
