While I love seeing BookTok-viral novels get turned into movies (hello It Ends With Us!), it's just as fun to see them get turned into TV shows, like Fourth Wing — and A Court of Thorns and Roses. If you're a fantasy book fan, then there's a good chance you've heard of the sensation, if not devoured the entire series already! Keep reading for the latest news on the A Court of Thorns and Roses TV show.
Is A Court of Thorns and Roses going to be a TV show?

Yes, there's A Court of Thorns and Roses TV show in the works! After a few nonstarters (and incorrect rumors that the show had been cancelled), the series is coming to Hulu. And Sarah J. Maas is working with Outland creator Ronald D. Moore! The last official piece of news we got was in 2022, when Sarah told The New York Times she was still working on the show with Moore.
But on February 27, 2024, Sarah J. Maas reportedly went out to coffee with Margot Robbie. Margot's production company (LuckyChap) has backed projects like I, Tonya, Promising Young Woman, Saltburn. Everything Margot touches turns to gold so I really hope she ends up on the creative team for A Court of Thorns and Roses! While neither woman has confirmed that they have a partnership for the series, all signs point to Margot potentially producing the series. Yes, please!
Who's in the A Court of Thorns and Roses cast?

There haven't been any official casting announcements yet, but the latest fancast is my absolute favorite. Hannah Dodd, who plays Francesca in Netflix's hit series Bridgerton, would be the PERFECT addition to the cast, whether she plays Elain or Feyre. And now, I honestly don't know if I'll be satisfied with anyone else ;). "She is ELAIN," one TikTok user comments. "Literally copy paste from my brain Elain."
Deuxmoi (via Marie Claire Australia) revealed some potential actors who could be in the running, like Thomas Doherty, Theo James, and Katherine Langford. Actress Brec Bassigner expressed that she'd love to be considered for a role. "I emailed my team, and I was like, ‘Listen, I don’t care if I have one line. I have to be a part of this,'" she says in an interview with TV Line.

The A Court of Thorns and Roses show is still in the very early stages of pre-production so the earliest we can expect to watch the first episode is late 2025 or early 2026. According to celebrity gossip account Deuxmoi, Hulu allegedly has the first four scripts. While they were supposed to begin filming late 2023 or early 2024, that would have been pushed because of the writers' and actors' strikes.

A Court of Thorns and Roses follows Feyre, a huntress who's forced to live with the immortal faeries after killing a wolf in the woods. The longer she stays in the Fae's world, the more she begins to love it — and the passionate, alluring faerie Tamlin. But as a dark shadow grows, both their world and Tamlin are put in danger, and it's up to Feyre to save them all.
