Shailene Woodley will not be appearing in the Divergent TV movie
This won’t come as much of a surprise to anyone who’s been following the story, but Shailene Woodley has officially confirmed that she won’t be reprising the role of Tris Prior in the TV-bound fourth and final chapter of the Divergent series, with the actress telling Vanity Fair: “No. I’m not going to be on the television show.”

Shailene Woodley’s Passing On The Divergent TV Series
It’s kind of a shame what happened with Lionsgate’s Divergent series. Based on Veronica Roth ’s Ya novels, hopes were initially high for the films, given how successful the books were, and with a studio who’d already proven they knew how to navigate the tricky waters of the genre a few years prior with The Hunger Games series, all signs pointed to another mega hit that would dominate the box office for the next little while.
