‘A Court of Thorns and Roses' TV Series Dead at Hulu
Produced by Disney's 20th Television, the project has been in the development stage at Hulu (also a Disney property) since March 2021. Maas was on the 'ACOTAR' (as the book series is known to fans) TV scripts alongside 'Outlander' creator Ronald D. Moore.

Not many updates have been given on the show since, with both the writers and actors strikes of Summer 2023 putting a pause on almost all scripted production and development.
Last February, TVLine reported that the 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' TV series was no longer in development at Hulu and that it was also not being shopped to other platforms. At that time, sources told Variety the show was technically still in the works but no longer in active development and Disney's 20th Television had the rights through late Summer 2025.
Maas is looking to take the TV adaptation rights for 'ACOTAR' out to a different studio and platform once the option has expired at Disney, sources close to the project tell Variety.
20th Television and Hulu declined comment. Representatives for Maas have not yet responded to Variety's request.
The first installment of the 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' novel series, which centers around 19-year-old huntress Feyre Archeron, was published in May 2015. After murdering a faerie wolf in the woods, she is dragged to the magical land of Prythian by Tamlin, who serves as one of the seven High Lords of Prythian. While spending time with Tamlin at his estate in the spring court, Feyre slowly comes to learn that everything she has learned about the faerie world is a lie.
Following the success of the first novel, Maas released four sequels titled 'A Court of Mist and Fury,' 'A Court of Wings and Ruin,' 'A Court of Frost and Starlight' and 'A Court of Silver Flames.' A sixth book in the series is planned with no release date set as of now.

What Kyla Pratt And Her Daughter Look Like Now
This is the phenomenal Kyla Pratt, and she's a mommy. No, she's a mom. She has a daughter, a human child, and she's seriously a spitting image of her parents. Kyla and her longtime boyfriend, tattoo artist Danny Kirkpatrick, have been together since 2008, and share two daughters, Liyah, born in 2013, and Lyric, born in 2010. Before her adventures in motherhood, Kyla had the late '90s/early 2000s on lock, reprising her role in sequels to 1998's Dr. Doolittle, starring in One on One, and voicing Penny Proud in The Proud Family. Kyla's currently reprising her role as Penny in the revival series, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder on Disney+. But, even with those most impressive acting credits, Kyla's most groundbreaking role is co-starring in her daughter Lyric's TikTok because why do they look so alike, and why do I feel ancient now? Back in 2023, Kyla and Lyric made their TikTok debut together for the first time, and everyone was stunned by their identical appearance. Now, Lyric has posted new videos with her mom, and people are even more flabbergasted at how much they look like each other. In a TikTok shared on Aug. 1, Lyric and Kyla were joined by internet personality and actor Charles Brockman III to recreate an iconic moment from the very first episode of The Proud Family, "Bring It On." People are rightfully losing it over the similarities. One person even joked that Lyric "literally looks like Penny" from The Proud Family. Another said that she "could play penny proud in a live action" version of the animated series. And like most millennials who grew up with Kyla, this person said, "this just healed something in me," and I get it. Lyric really looks JUST LIKE her mother! And, of course, she looks like her daddy, too! Look at those adorable smiles.
