The Divergent movie series is based on the novel series of the same name by Veronica Roth. The story takes place in a future society that is divided into five factions, each representing a different virtue: honesty, selflessness, intelligence, bravery, and peacefulness.
At the age of 16, all citizens must choose to which faction they will belong for the rest of their lives. When 16-year-old Beatrice Prior makes her choice, she shocks everyone by choosing “Divergent”—a faction that is not only despised by the other factions but also believed to belong extinct. Now, Beatrice must try to survive in a world where she is constantly being hunted by those who see her as a threat to the established order.

Are there any more Divergent movies?
While Divergent and Insurgent were based on their respective novels, Allegiant is a half-adaptation of the original material.
The first part, called “Allegiant,” was split into two films to make two movies: “Allegiant Part 1” and “Allegiant Part 2” (aka “Ascendent”). The first of these films, entitled simply as Allegiant, debuted in cinemas in 2016.
Lee Toland Krieger was initially attached as the movie’s director for a fourth film based on the latter half of the Allegiant book. The timing was changed to a June 2017 release. The movie was canceled, resulting in the series ending on a cliffhanger.
