Bridgerton, Euphoria & More! Favorite Binge-Worthy TV Shows
Booktok fans are going to be full of mist and fury over the latest ACOTAR update.
The TV show adaptation of Sarah J. Maas' novel A Court of Thorns and Roses is seemingly back to square one, as it has said goodbye to its showrunner who would have led writing and production. Ronald D. Moore, who first signed onto the Hulu project in 2021, shared he left the series due to a career pivot.
"I can tell you I am no longer working on it because I left Disney and I've returned to Sony," the Outlander creator told Entertainment Weekly during a Comic-Con 2024 event on July 25. "And ACOTAR was a project that was at 20th Century Television and Disney."
So, how is the adaptation coming along in his absence? Ronald admitted that when he walked away it was "still in development." As he explained, "I don't know what the status is anymore."
But while the fantasy romance series may still be in the beginning stages of getting made, fans shouldn't lose all hope. After all, the show hasn't been scrapped just yet.

"That show has been in development," Hulu chief Craig Erwich assured reporters at the Television Critics Association back in February, per Variety, "but I don’t have any news to share today.”
Of course, ACOTAR readers have found ways to keep themselves busy while they wait for production to move forward. In fact, many have concocted ideas on who should be cast in the leading role of Feyre Archeron, the rebellious 19-year-old mortal who is brought to the faerie lands of Prythian.

Taking the crown as one fan-favorite potential star is Hannah Dodd, the Bridgerton actress who sparked casting speculation after revealing that she recently finished reading the 2015 book.
"Help, I'm in love with a fictional character," Hannah wrote in a July 15 Instagram Story. "Hannah Feyre Katie Dodd is what I will respond to now."
"I think I just found the perfect Feyre!?!" one user wrote in a TikTok video the following day, while another commented under her clip, "OMG YES!!! She's so stunning!!!"
