The TV Conclusion Didn't Appeal To The Star-Studded Cast
None of the original cast of the three previous Divergent movies was interested in making the jump from three big-budget blockbusters to a TV movie, let alone one that acted as a pilot for a potential series. Although Woodley wanted to return to complete Tris’ story, she only expressed willingness for a theatrical movie. The actress later admitted how disappointed she was with the saga's ending that she even considered quitting acting entirely. This similar lack of interest from the original...
The Negative Reaction Deflated Cast Enthusiasm
Certainly one of the factors in the early end to the Divergent series and the cancelation of Divergent 4 was the critical response.

As both Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller pointed out in interviews, they weren’t aware that the decision was made to move the Ascendantmovie to tel...
The Hunger Games Succeeded Where Many Franchises Failed
The Divergent Series: Ascendant was far from the only YA book series turned film series that was canceled before they got the chance to complete the story from the original books. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was meant to be the first in a series of films based on The Mortal Instruments books by Cassandra Clare, but didn't generate enough money to justify making the sequel (Entitled The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes). Although this particular YA series did actually get converted...
