A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas has a TV series adaptation in the works at Hulu. For all the details about this forthcoming series, here’s what we know about the A Court of Thorns and Roses Hulu TV series:

What’s it about? What’s the plot?

A Court of Thorns and Roses is the first book in an a epic fantasy romance series, involving retellings of fairy tales and faerie lore. The series currently has six planned books in total, with two additional novellas and other extra content as well.

A Court Of Thorns And Roses , described as a loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast, offers an epic narrative that blends romance, adventure, and political intrigue. Feyre is a human huntress who gets on the wrong side of the faeries when she kills a Fae in wolf form.

As a result of this act, a life for a life is demanded. Feyre ends up agreeing to be imprisoned in a faerie realm with a faerie lord, Tamlin, in return for her family’s safety. When she falls for Tamlin, it ultimately results in a fight for that love as an ancient curse threatens to destroy the faerie and human realms.

The first book in the series (A Court of Thorns and Roses) was originally published in May 2015.

What format will it be? Will the A Court of Thorns and Roses adaptation be a Movie or a Series?

It’s planned as a television series, to be available on Hulu. It looks like there are tentative plans to adapt the entire series into what will likely be multiple seasons.

In January 2022, Craig Erwich, President of Hulu Originals & ABC Entertainment commented about the series: “The books are a great roadmap for what I think will be a very successful series. I haven’t read the material yet, although I’m very aware of a lot of the conversations going on with the show. Ron [co-writer of the screenplay] is truly one of the visionaries of that genre.”

Who’s behind it?

Hulu is developing the fantasy series, to be aired on their streaming service. The project is being co-adapted by Ron Moore, who also adapted the Outlander book series for TV and author Sarah J. Maas.

Maas will also serve as an executive producer for the show.
