A Court of Thorns and Roses: This is what we know till now

The fantasy series ACOTAR, also known as A Court of Thorns and Roses, is in the works for Hulu, but there's no confirmed release date. The announcement of the TV adaptation was made by author Sarah J. Maas on Instagram in March 2021. She and Ronald D. Moore, known for his work on Outlander, are co-adapting the series.

While some scripts have been written for A Court of Thorns and Roses, it's currently "still in development," as revealed by Ronald D. Moore. However, the number of episodes and scripts completed remain undisclosed.

Production on the show hit a pause due to an actors strike, causing delays. The industry is waiting to see if actors return before moving forward with the project.


The delays may be attributed to the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike, which began on July 14, 2023. This strike impacted numerous productions and led to a lack of scripts, causing further setbacks.

SAG-AFTRA is currently reviewing the latest proposal from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), representing major studios. This proposal is said to be their "last, best, and final offer."

Despite the wait, the adaptation of ACOTAR promises an engaging story. The series will follow a human huntress, who embarks on a journey to a magical realm with a faerie lord to protect her family. Despite their differences, romance blooms between them. They must unite to combat an ancient curse that threatens both the human and faerie worlds. The story offers a blend of romance, adventure, and political intrigue.
