Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A Court of Thorns and Roses is bringing Sarah J. Maas' best-selling book series to Hulu, and the show's success could determine the fate of another fan-favorite adaptation. Based on the series of the same name, A Court of Thorns and Roses will introduce viewers to the fae land of Prythian, following Feyre Archeron as she's reluctantly swept into this world.
Assuming A Court of Thorns and Roses avoids the mistakes of other book adaptations, it will appeal to fans of Maas' book series and come with an already-established audience. Its success will likely depend on how faithful it is to the Maas' books, which have accumulated a large audience since they first released. If Hulu's adaptation succeeds at bringing the original story to life, viewers could see similar projects green-lit.
A Court Of Thorns And Roses' Success Could Determine Throne Of Glass' Fate Hulu's A Court of Thorns and Roses show is taking a long time to materialize, but there seems to be traction when it comes to this adaptation. There's still no release date or timeline for the series, but Maas offered an update in 2021. The author revealed that she is developing the script for A Court of Thorns and Roses alongside Outlander showrunner Ronald D. Moore.
Another series based on Maas' work, Throne of Glass leans more into the high fantasy genre than A Court of Thorns and Roses. However, it features similar elements, especially when it comes to romance. It follows an assassin trying to reclaim her throne, and its action-packed narrative will translate well from page to screen. However, A Court of Thorns and Roses' performance may be the deciding factor for whether Throne of Glass gets made.
